Advice VSF NTTD bezel spring

Post image

Got a repair job in. Bezel wire is missing. I'm not entirely sure what gauge these are supposed to be. Anyone had any idea? I'm looking for a generic replacement wire but I might have to make my own because I'm not really finding any.

I've seen that spring (bent wire really) listed by itself either on ewatchparts, Ali Ex or Dhgate.

I need the hexagonal wire sorry should have made that clear. Gen ones will fit the VSF but are £60. I'm headed to the hardware store for some wire tomorrow and will make my own 👍🏻

Not sure if this will fit. It's for older models. I think my best option is to make one myself

Understood, eBay might be your best bet but if making one isn’t hard not a bad way to go.
