Which spring bar for 1175 bracelet with #47 ends on a 69 Speedie?

Just had a generic spring bar ping out whilst wearing on of my "brownies"
Could the members who know please advise on the correct spring bar to use please?
And of course I've added a photo below.

well, lugwidth = 20mm.
so, nothing less than a springbar made for lugs of 20mm...

If you don’t want a generic spring bar then apparently you want an Omega spring bar, which would be obtained at an OB or watchmaker with an Omega account. They will know the correct part.

Guess this was due to the poor quality of the spring bar, because I never had any problems with 20 mm spring bars on my speedies. Are the lug holes still in good shape? Perhaps this had something to do with it as well? Anyway, try using a proper spring bar from any local jeweller and ask for one that will give a tight fit between the bracelet and the 47 end link. And it should be 20 mm with strong springs.
