Spare Spring Bars
Hello Gents,
I am looking to have a small collection of spare spring bars, not a lot maybe just 4-6 of various sizes for my small collection of various makers ( Rolex, Omega, Citizens, Tudor ) I came across a few different spring bar assorted size case ones on Amazon and was wondering if they will do

What matters is they are the correct sizes for what you need.
Not sure if an Amazon purchase would get you good quality in every instance. Both Otto Frei and Esslinger, as well as some other watch supply houses have quality spring bars in every size and shape.

Thank you Sir, greatly appreciated info. I started looking again after your post and came up with these from Esslinger https://www.esslinger.com/watch-band...nt-150-pieces/ Or these https://www.esslinger.com/watch-band...nt-100-pieces/ I’m sure there is a difference but I’m thinking these should be ok and just check every so often to ensure the pins are still snug

Get the second one.
First one is not stainless steel. It doesn’t say in label, and you can tell from the price. 150pcs for $14, compared to the other one 100pcs $20. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I occasionally will change bracelets and in doing so if I notice one or more bars are getting worn this assortment would come in handy https://www.esslinger.com/watch-band...nt-100-pieces/ https://www.esslinger.com/watch-band...nt-100-pieces/

Well currently I have these brands, Rolex-Omega-Citizens and Tudor and my plan is to keep with these brands and maybe add a few others like Uylsse Nardin and Panerai so would 1.8 be better

Your wasting a lot if you buy those sets you posted. Pay close attention to the sizes. 80 or more of the 100 in those sets won’t fit your watches.
Consider buying the correct size for what you have. For example: https://www.esslinger.com/watch-band...package-of-10/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Spare Spring Bars
No, your Rolex needs a set of 20mm springbars. The same for your Tudor & Omega very likely.
You can look up the other models you own online to see what size you’ll need. So likely some 20mm and maybe another size for the others. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Yes. The best bet is to measure the spring bar tips and get ones that match it. The middle diameter only really matters when using the stock bracelet. The most important part is the "tip" There is no universal one size fits all.

Ah yes, very true. Obviously 1.8 over a 1.5 in general.

No, they are not.
Rolex is also changing things once again as well. The Ceramic Subs and SD's have a larger pivot than other models, so a standard 20mmx2.0mm may click in, but it is too small for the holes in the lugs. I also hear that the latest GMT's are 1.5mm with larger pivots. I suspect that they are making it so the new bracelets are not a universal fit with older models.
