Anyone ever source replacement spring bars used in the removable links for Omega beads of rice bracelets of yore? I have a 1502 BOR (as opposed to the new 1502 solid) and I would like to replace the bars inside the links, but the tips of those bars are extra long and apparently hard to find.

The 3010 Omega sells today uses the traditional split-end pin so that's no help.

Should be able to use 1.2 mm spring bars. Maybe 1.5/6. Not sure on length. Don't have anymore bracelets to check

Check what you currently have and check thickness

If holes all the way through the outside ends. Shoulderless will work fine. I think that what was in mine

Nobody giving them away on Ebay

My watchmaker sent me a pic, he was able to modify bars he had to work with the bracelet, so yay me!
