Anyone know a place online to buy Omega springbars? The ones that came with my pre-owned 2254 are garbage and simply don't trust them. Don't have an OB in my area and the AD wants to charge me $50+ dollars for them due to shipping.
Couldn't find any related topics in the search.
Thanks.
Not sure of an online source these days. I would suggest calling your closest OB to see if they will sell/ship them. I know that some of the locations have different requirements - I've run into that myself. In the Seattle, WA location (attached to a service center) I had to bring in the watch but they gave me the spring bars at no charge. In the Bellevue, WA location I didn't have to bring in my watches but was able to order (and pay for) as many spring bars as I wanted. I didn't need shipping in either case, but I understand a lot of members have experienced free shipping or nominal shipping charges. $50 seems high for shipping, unless I'm misreading your post. Is the $50 for spring bars + shipping? The spring bars I had to pay for were $4 each (but could vary by OB location).

Where are you located? Do you have the part number?
I'm in the middle of Canada so the closest OB is either Vancouver or Toronto. I don't know the part number.

You can contact Omega in TO - they are very helpful but you’ll pay for the parts and at least 15.00 for shipping, since they use FedEx. I can pass on the name and email of the parts person I dealt with if you decide to go that route.
FWIW, when I bought a rubber strap and buckle from them, spring bars were not included.
My local dealer orders them in bulk and sells them for $4 ea
$50 for 2 bars and shipping.
Ah. If the spring bars are $4 each, then we're talking $42 in shipping. Does seem steep from the AD.
@CJpickup57 - very generous!
