Gold spring bars for an 1803?

My 1803 on leather strap came with steel spring bars when I got it. Any recs for gold spring bars (after market ok)? Thanks!

Just get authentic gold springbars from a Rolex AD or RSC. They charge around $100 for the pair. Steel springbars on a gold case will ruin the holes because gold is softer. Take them out now.

Don't go aftermarket - 100 bucks isn't a major expense relative to the value of the watch. Post a pic so that we can all enjoy it!
