Hello guys!

I’ve ordered a new strap (Hirsch Buffalo) to my Seamaster and are thinking about bent spring bars. The old strap on the picture gets scratched by the case. But I haven’t really seen any vintage Seamaster with bent bars. Would it look off in your opinion?

 

I would just replace the spring bars, some people even recommend changing them fairly often. Just get some high quality spring bars and you won't have to worry.

 

or some skinny spring bars

 

My German made Elgin with curved end Admiral band has curved spring bars. They appear to have come with the band and may be gold plated to match. They seem thick and sturdy.
I tried straight bars with this band and there was just way too much wobbling around that way.

 

Curved springbars would look great in my opinion.

 

Agreed, curved springbars would fix the issue and look great, easy solution

I think it would look great to and now I’m even more certain of that. Thanks guys!
