Hi all Omega's spring bars are a bit confusing to order. Both Ofrei and Cousins list some of theirs by part number only. In addition some 20 mm cases, for example, take either an 20 mm or 22 mm bar depending on whether you are fitting a bracelet or a strap. Can anyone identify an Omega spring bar that works well with the 19 mm C-shape case 168.017, to be used with 518 end pieces and a 1040 bracelet? Alternatively, can anyone advise as to the best thickness to minimise movement at the end pieces? Certainly it looks as if standard slim bars allow too much movement.
Just in case any others search for this info in future, I’ll add Ofrei’s advice which was that “OME-SPRING-BAR-04 Spring Bar To Fit 19 mm Leather Straps & 20 mm Metal Bracelets” is the one.
