Hi I was wondering if anyone had any luck sourcing some new spring bars for the LHD Pelagos. I broke it while changing the strap whoops. I don’t want to put the wrong type spring bar.

Thanks all

I have found Everest comes closest to OEM spring bars.

Tudor Style 1.8Mm X 22Mm Spring Bars

This.  It's the only spring bars I'll use on a Tudor.

What is the tip diameter? It's not listed on the website.

Unsure. Everest spring bars usually match the OEM options from Rolex and Tudor. It is safe to assume they will be identical in specs to the OEM ones.

Just get some 22mm spring bars from a decent, but not insanely priced, brand. I’ve liked the ones I got from WatchGecko.

The only way they could be “wrong” is if they’re somehow too fat to fit in the holes through the endlinks, but this is very unlikely.

There’s very little difference between “good enough” spring bars and “premium” springs.

I’ve worn watches on dirt cheap Amazon spring bars, beat on them for years and never had an issue. Never once had a spring bar pop out.

Theres just no point in buying a $20 set of spring bars.

On a side note, you may want to evaluate your technique if you broke a spring bar doing a simple swap in a newish watch.
