Springbars with only side with shoulders?

[Mr_Pacman]

I ordered some springbars for my Tudor chronograph Tiger 79260 from the Authorized Dealer.

The ones that arrived, were the same that were installed in the watch. One thing I noticed is that only one side has a "shoulder". The other side does not.



My question is, why are they like this vs having both sides with shoulders? When I installed them, it's very easy to bend the side without the shoulder as they are quite weak.

Is there a trick to installing these vs other sprinbars? I've got a good forked tool and have done this with many watches in the past without any issues.

Is there a stronger bar that will fit these older Tudor cases, perhaps with a double shoulder?

Once the bars are inside the endlink, offer-up the unsholdered pin into the lug, then compress the springs pin on the shouldered end using your tool while pressing the endlink into that lug.
