Where can I find this spring bar for 16610?

Where can I find these spring bars for my Sub 16610? I've searched through Ofrei a bit and couldn't find one. I don't mind if it's from a high quality manufacturer or genuine Rolex. It's obviously for a 20mm lug size and I took some width measurements and it's 2.0mm thick and ~0.9mm at the very tip of the spring bars (part that goes into the lug hole).

Is the only place for this exact spring bar an AD?



Thank you!

Let me note real quick, I think it's perhaps part number FB-7864 found on http://www.ofrei.com/page1229.html, but it lists the tips at 1.00mm??

Also it doesn't have the grooves in the bar -- although I have no idea what those grooves do ... don't seem to do anything on the bracelet.

Thoughts?

Why don't you just go and ask an AD? The spring bars aren't that expensive. Probably cheaper than a generic one on-line!

those bars are cheap enough that I would order some just to see if they would fit........

The grooves on the bar are the crimps that keep the pin ends from falling out. Rik

Interesting. Wouldn't have guessed that. Any idea where to pick them up?
