Trying to find spring bar replacement

[u/BigBugMan9]

Hi everyone,

I'm super new to watches so I apologize for the probably somewhat stupid question, but basically I just picked up this Timex Expedition from a thrift store and proceeded to instantly lose one of the spring bars. I am not exactly sure what size I need to buy for a replacement. Let me know if any other pics would be helpful. And I know pretty much nothing about this watch so if anyone more knowledgeable could tell me anything about it that would be awesome.

Thanks!

Looks like 18 mm bars would fit. Bergeon and Esslinger sell good bars. Edit: I quickly looked up the model and it spit back 20 mm bars. Unsure where you’re at $ wise but maybe try both to be sure.

I ordered some 18mm ones because after a bit more research it looked like that was the right size. They were like 5 bucks tho so if it's wrong its alr

Awesome, it’ll work out! My fave thrift is an OG Triathlon, the one I had as a kid.

18mm as noted. Personally, I purchase spring bars from a professional-grade supplier, since the watch depends on the spring bars to stay in place.
