Any 14060M owners who wear on leather NATO? In that case which springbars do you use? The original ones are a very tight fit even for very thin leather.

Thanks.

You might try a smaller diameter set of springbars - 1.5mm perhaps. I have tried many nato/zulu straps, but really only find them acceptable on my fixed-bar military watches.

Thanks. I guess the challange is to find someone with the correct diameter for the part that goes into the lug holes, so they don't slide around in there creating havor. Otherwise I should just accept that Submariners are only meant to be worn on their bracelet and that anything else is blasphemy.

You will need one with a 1.2mm pivot diameter.

Thanks. I was just about to google away, when you wrote. 👍

Have a look at the Ofrei web page for Rolex replacement spring bars. They are listing case references with measurements included.
