Shoulderless Springbars...

[ricardopalamino]

 Hi , Does anyone know where to get shoulderless springbars for a decent price . I have seen them from Germany for $14 a pair plus shipping .  I would rather take a file to a shouldered one first , but if anyone knows a source I would appreciate it .

  My new acquisition , an Omega Constellation f300 hz has a few links to remove for adjustment but the original small springbars lost their springiness and need to be replaced .

  The second pic of the overhead view of the watchband is not of my watch , but the concept is the same with the holes to depress the springbar .

 

Thanks , Louis

Hi Louis,

Given your location I would have thought that these good folk should have them.

I bought some for  an Omega bracelet on Cousinsuk . Other then that it's twente on Ebay . They have a lot of springbars and are fast shippers .

Mahalo Spandrel , ...it seems that they do , in various lengths also . At a decent price . I did a Bing search , but Ofrei didn't come up by . I tried other parts houses but the sizes were all too long . 

 

Thanks again , I'll give them a call......Louis

Hi Louis,

 

Try Redrooster UK, I had an assortment of springbars but found I was using more 18mm than any other length so I bought a box of a 100 and only noticed today that they are shoulder less, you should be able to get other sizes as well.

When you say shoulder less Louis, do you mean female spring bars or the plain old fashioned type?

No.........Drambuie!

Female fit cases with little stubs sticking out between the lugs.

Plain old fashioned type ( my description) do not have the annular grooves/rings on each end to allow spring tools to be used easily.

I think he means the type used for securing clasps to bracelets or for drilled lugs.

Oh... Then YUP ....Female springbars , without the flanges that are used for spring tools . The Sexy kind ... ;)
