Hi all Having recently had my 105.012 serviced, I have been panicking about the security of the spring bars. I worry that if one breaks, then the watch is gone (potentially). I decided to place the watch on a Kizzi strap for now. This gives me the security of a second point of anchor, if one pin breaks. It got me to thinking whether fixed bars can be fitted to a Speedy. If so, how and where could I get some?? I have had a quick Google and can not find any info. Is there any way to fit fixed bars on my watch?
Usually fixed bars are welded/ soldered/ braised in place. Not sure I would want to do that with a $10k USD watch...
I slipped on a cockpit ladder while wearing a Subbie with spring bars. My bracelet got caught on the canopy latch and I was hanging by my wrist for a second or two and the springbars held my weight. They don't break easily or regularly so just use quality ones and wear it.
