Could any members kindly help me with identifying which spring bar body-lengths, diameters and types (i.e. unflanged, single-flanged, double flanged etc) I need for the following:-
1. to fix a 1069 bracelet to a ST 166.032 Seamaster case (19mm lug spacing)
2. to secure the removeable links of the 1069 bracelet
3. to fix a 1037 bracelet to a ST 168.005 Constellation case (18mm lug spacing)
4. to secure the removeable links of the 1037 bracelet
(tried to find what I needed from the O Frei website but came away non the wiser)

Hi Nujon,

I use standard double flange 19mm spring bars for my Seamaster bracelets, including the 1069 (which I no longer own). As far as the links, I am almost positive they both have friction pins that need to be knocked out with a nylon hammer and pin punch tool, or the pin remover tool that pushes them out. Some Omega bracelets had spring bar pins for the links (big pain in the neck to work with), so double check that you aren't dealing with that. You can tell by using something small to push into the pin hole. If there isn't a spring bit of resistance, it's most likely a friction pin.
