Spring pins OEM Or aftermarket

I'm replacing some spring pins, I have seen a bunch of posts, but has anyone had any issues with aftermarket pins? I like OEM but they just aren't that readily available locally.

I have some Swiss made ones from them, and they are good quality.

I doubt Rolex manufactures its own spring pins, so OEM is probably a fallacy...

Every Dealer can get proper spring bars.


It's always better to use good quality replacements, either OEM or aftermarket, than to go for years without replacing them at all.

Make sure that they are properly sized..
