    While changing the strap on my vintage omega, I bent the spring bar. The lugs are 18.5 mm. I can't seem to find 18.5 mm spring bars. Can someone suggest where I get these or should I use a 19mm spring bar (or 18mm spring bar)???? Thanks in advance.

    If a 19 will fit I'd use that, better a bit long than short.

    There exist spring bars that cover a few sizes. I just ran out of 16-19mm bars.

    The ones I had were from S. LaRose (since closed). I will check Otto Frei in Oakland, Ca next time I'm there. Last time I checked they said they ran out. Now that I checked their website the springbars are not listed? Hmmm...
