And what about 16 mm for those of use who have watches from before the Truman administration

 

So get 16mm ones, they have all sizes down to some of the very small ladies watches

 

Who’s Truman?

 

US President who took over when FDR croaked in 1945 and in office until Eisenhower was elected in 1952.

 

One of the last Democrat’s that actually had a set of balls, followed by the last Republican that actually had ethics.

I should amend the statement - LBJ had gigantic balls- too large for his Haggar slacks apparently.

 

I got a free pair from a boutique when I went to have my bracelet installed. After hearing some people getting charged, I guess there isn't a lot of consistency as to whether spring bars are sold or given away.

 

Pretty normal for an OB to put on new spring bars when changing a bracelet for you. They typically charge though when you want to simply buy spring bars. At least that is how my OB is.

 

I could see this when performing a “service” for a customer as opposed to just selling an accessory.

 

I see. I didn’t buy the bracelet at the OB, but just brought it to them to change out the strap, and they gave the spring bars and replaced a bent screw in the bracelet free of charge. Not sure if that is typical, but I understand if you just want some spare spring bars they may charge you.

 

My OB has swapped bracelet/ strap for me before. They did not charge for the swap, or for the spring bars. I bought the strap from them (which is different than in your case), and they told me I could come back as often as I wanted to swap back and forth, and it would be at no charge. Of course they are 30-45 minutes away from my house and office, so I don't get by there more than once a year or so.
