I am trying to use leather NATO(2mm thick) on my Rolex Explorer 2 16570. but the space between the original Spring Bar(from the steel bracelet) and the case is too small for the leather NATO to pass thru. have any thinner spring bar that fit my Rolex Explorer 2. being searching high and low but no result. any kind soul can advise me, with web link to purchase.

thanks

I'd be very careful about using thinner bars, the ends will also be smaller and therefore not very secure in the lug holes. Have you considered a Zulu or thinner NATO?

You will have to shave the back of the strap to get it to fit.....or just ditch the whole idea.

Don't pass it through. Remove the springbars, place the strap where you want it, and then insert the springbars.
