    Would a quick release spring bar be able to be used with an omega SMP 300 2531.80 bracelet?
    Anyone had any experience?
    God I hate taking it on and off with a spring bar tool...

    Unlikely to work. I don’t think the cut out in the end piece is long enough to allow the lever to operate.

    No. These will only work with leather straps that have a cut-out to allow for the knob. They won’t work on normal leather straps either.

    I just try with some old omega QRB 18mm (I know they should be 20mm but you can see there is enough room also for 2mm more of same tipe).

    Afther minute of thinking I came to conclusion that with QRB you will have problems lifting side that where is no quick release pin. Bracelet is tight between lugs and you need to release both sides to take bracelet off.
