Genuine Rolex spring bars

Where can I get genuine Rolex spring bars.....in particular for my 14060M & 16570

I’m in the UK and would be great if they are available here but no worries if I have to send world wide for them.

Any help appreciated
Andy

Not really sure if aftermarket spring bars are good enough....I’d like to know if they are up to the job, if they are as that would certainly be a lot easier.

I'd get OEM parts only, you can source them online if you do some digging

If you have a 16570 with lugholes you'll need springbars 23-12200, if without lugholes you'll need 23-44200.
14060M uses 23-12200.

There are a few 23-12200 on eBay but they are at a hefty price. May be a good last resort if you cant find any elsewhere.

I ordered mine from Everest for $10,-.

Still using the original pins for the bracelet tho, but I didn't want to be pulling and wiggling the original ones each time I install the rubber strap.

I went to an AD and the minimum you could order was 5 and the wait was about a week. I bought 2 20mm from craft and tailored got them in a few days and the fit was great. Would definitely recommend craft and tailored for other than just springbars. They say there genuine but not sure, measurements are the same as originals on a caliper.

I agree.
Craft and Tailored, or LA WatchWorks, or Everest. . . are all just fine. And they'll be about $10/pair.
They are all Rolex afficianados and want you to have a GOOD quality item.

I don't see ANY reason to go to an AD to get spring bars....
