i chanced upon a NOS rolex re-sizing kit that included a whole ton of rolex spring bars and bought it.
you can keep your eye out for something like that whereby the sum of its parts is worth much more than the price for the kit (which is not cheap).
i know for sure most RASCs will supply such parts in small quantities (ie, one pair) on a non-parts exchange basis. some ulu RSCs will do the same still. but none are nearby singapore.
i also know certain ADs have a stock of these expendable items and will give them out upon request, especially since they are old stock. none anywhere near singapore.
if you intend to hit europe or the americas, drop me a PM and i'll hook you up.
Thanks taxico, though chances of going europe/america is slim I'll keep in mind though.
I am procuring some fat spring bars for my pinhole Submariner and GMT and explorer 2 from my trusted source overseas.
When i get them, i pass you a pair.
If you are not happy about them, you can keep for free.
If you are happy about them, you can pay me any amount you think is fair.

Its been quite a few months, any feedback on the fat springbars i passed you?
I havent used any yet myself as i still have my originals.
Sorry for the late reply!
The springbars you gave are not as strong as the original. I used one of yours and one original at the same time. Not sure how to explain but the spring inside the springbar loses the tension after 1 month or so as I change my leather nato straps often. The original springbar is still going strong though.

The original? It came with the watch orginally. I tried to buy from RSC but they don't sell it seperately. Need to send for serviving then they might replace a new pair...

I see.
Is the loss in tension very bad. Ie. rendering it anywhere near useless
Thats why original is original. Cannot beat it. Haw haw.
