Spring-loaded pin popped out, how do I fix it?

[ceddybear588]

While tinkering with my 16622 yachtmaster, which has seen a couple years of daily use, the spring bar connecting the band to the face of the watch popped out and flew.....somewhere, I havent been able to find it. Where is the best place to buy a new spring bar of the correct size and how do I go about installing it?

Ad or otto frei (I think). Very easy to reinstall.

ad = authorized dealer

go directly to your nearest authorized rolex dealer... all spring bars are not created equal and you want to be sure you have exactly the correct spring bars for your watch.

if you happen to be in nyc go right to the rolex building in midtown and get the spring bars from them.

ps sadly the correct springbars from rolex do not have any identifying marks on them, this is why the dealer you walk in to should be authorized for purchase of rolex parts and not some neighborhood watch repair shop. the little spring, if inferior quality can cost you dearly.
