OEM springbars.

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.

Have you called the Swatch Group in Toronto? They have an entire service department that may be able to help out.

I used Swatchgroup US to get some extra springbars. They are $4 and $10 for shipping. They are not cheap, but they are OEM.

This was from their email when I inquired. I'm sure they could help you out.
Should further questions arise, please feel free to contact us Monday through Friday between 9AM and 6PM EST at 877-839-5224 (Option 2) and a Customer Service Representative will be happy assist you.

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, much to my surprise, given the substantial cost.

I would love to have the TO contact too. My AD here in Calgary only has non OEM springbar.
I have used swisswatchspares.com but the shipping from UK to Canada is steep.

Maybe someone who reads this is going to an AD or OB this weekend and can grab you a set. Regular mail from US will only cost 3 stamps (whatever those cost these days) After paypal F&F and stamps, you're looking at 9 to 11 bucks for a set of bars.

BOOM! Problem solved

I'm in NH and would hook you up but I don't see myself in the area of my AD till next Friday or Saturday.

If you can get a part number that we are sure of, I can check what I have here and can put some in the mail for you. I just do not want to send you the wrong ones. @Archer

Awesome. Thank you @BradleyJ. I assumed it was those, but I haven't been around long enough to be sure. I have those. @avidmark send me a message and I will get them in the mail for you next week Monday. I am right in Buffalo, NY so hopefully they would make it to you by the end of the week next week.

Ah. If the spring bars are $4 each, then we're talking $42 in shipping. Does seem steep from the AD.

@CJpickup57 - very generous!

It is good to see fellow members helping each other out. This is what I love about the OF community.

Oh, I didn't know there were different bars depending on the strap type.
