Springbar Help Needed!

Hello,

I just picked up a jubille bracelet 62523H-18 for my 16013. I tried the 9291 spring bars (2mm diameter) and they are too thick to make it through the bracelet link behind the end piece. This is for a DJ with lug holes. What size do I need?

Thanks!

Jim

I'm guessing that a 1.8mm would be about right...but whatever Vanessa says is 'dead on balls accurate' I'm sure!

I posted this question originally in the wrong area, but this title fits perfect. I bent the very tip of the springbar on a GMTll. Is this a Rolex specific part or will any replacement do? I assume these go by style or model numbers...? If so, what am I looking for- GMT Master ll Z series.

I don't know all the numbers by memory but I would definately recommend getting the Rolex spring bars, since they are also made out of the high grade steel, and just hold up better.
If you get them replaced somewhere, just be aware that they replace them with the ones specifically for the sunken holes in the lugs!

Is that the new Rolex official specification for the spring bars?
