1675, 1680, 1655 springbars....does size matter?

Vintage Rolex models like the 1675, 1680, 1655 1601 and 1019 etc. they all have 20mm lug widths.

So is there a standard size for all these watches in terms of springbar length and thickness?

Are aftermarket springbars recommended?

Recently, I got supplied with springbars (non-genuine I believe), which although suitable in length for 20mm lugs, the tips which go into the lugs are stepped and the thickness of the main body of the springbar where it passes through the Jubilee bracelet is narrower (1.8mm) than previously used (2mm).

Does it matter? Does something so outwardly generic need to be exact and "Rolex" in brand??? Is there any compromise to quality and function or performance?

Please help me, I'm feeling the pain.....
