issues with spring bars

[Thuilln]

Hello all,

I've had some issues with the spring bars of two of my watches. When I try to install the bracelets back on, one side of the spring bar won't extend fully to the edge of the case (both watches have lug holes).
It's not a spring bar issue because they fit perfectly without the bracelets. One watch is an old Datejust 1603 and the other one is a 16710 with SEL. And it's also the first time I try to reinstall the bracelet on both of them since they came back from Rolex SC...
Any clue of what's happening?
Sorry no pics, since the upgrade was made a few weeks ago to this website, I'm unable to post pictures...

Regarding the pictures just resize them to around 900X900 pixels very easy to do plenty of tutorials on the net for all systems.

Rodger..

In the meantime it seems I was finally able to put them back. I struggled over an hour yesterday and this morning, it did work after a few tries.. strange, still, how unable I was to have them snap into the correct position..
Lesson learned: leave the bracelet as is..
