🙁 Hi everyone, a few hours ago I made the stup!d mistake of losing a micro adjustment spring bar from my speedy reduced , it flew in front of me and I never saw it again, I can’t find a replacement anywhere on the internet, if someone knows the part name or a replacement that works I will be forever thankful, thanks in advance.

I'm visualising a short length spring bar? I can't say what length it would be but if you were to measure the distance between the internal sides of the clasp? Years ago I bought a box of a bazillion spring bars in different lengths from EBay - the sub 20mm ones never get used.

Where were you when it escaped from you? Even the deepest carpet can be made to give up its secrets... torch, magnet, hands and knees......

Maybe I'm missing something though....

That happened to me on an old Connie. Amazingly my wife found it a couple days later but I had a bag of spring bars and found one that did the properly. As a matter of fact I still have the replacement in as it’s the perfect size and I don’t wear it often. If you want the correct part put up some pics of the watch in question I’m sure someone will know

Spring bars for strap or bracelet are not the same as for the clasp you need so called short beads like this:

OP: If you post your location someone here might have the part. I think it's a 16mm short bead springbar (shoulderless might work too?)

Little update, I spent my morning going to watchmakers and no one has spring bar that fits, they are too thick, waiting for the omega service to open, but I think I’m out of luck.

I lost it at my desk and spent 3 hours looking for it, it’s like it vanished in thin air.

Went to the ad and they had one, the rep told me I was very lucky, and I believe him.
