Gold 1675 spring bar advice

[Coroda]

Morning all,
Could someone point me in the right direction for Bracelet spring bars please?
I have a 1979 Gold 1675 GMT Master with a Jubillee bracelet what is the correct spring bar and what material should they be made of? And if anyone has a part number that would be great.
Thanks

I paid $120.00 for an 18kt set in 2016 from the Rolex RSC in NY for a 1675 18kt 1978 vintage GMT. I was having it serviced. It would have been more if I had ordered them from a AD. Note: the NY RSC stated they would not work on my 18kt GMT unless I agreed to put the gold spring bars on. A Rolex tech at the AD replaced the gold bars and put SS in place. The RSC was not happy about this. They are serious about all gold Rolex models having the proper gold parts in place. Also the service paper work which came back with the GMT stated the spring bars were 18kt but gave no part number. Hope this helps.

That would break consumer law in many countries. Like a dealer refusing to work on your car because it has a third party oil filter...

Probably a mistake,18K is very soft.

[crowncollection]

as above they are 10k not 18k its too soft

[Andad]

That is a misnomer guys?

18 K gold may not be softer than 10 K gold.

Depending on the mix and the annealing?

Yes, you are correct. The reference on Rolex receipts is 18ct.
