    Hello everyone! I am new here and this is my first post....I need some advice....

    I have a stainless Constellation that I absolutely love! I purchased it in So Cal in about 93-94. It is still going strong and without fail, with exception of having replaced the bracelet about 8 years ago. Now I am in need of new spring bars in the bracelet, but I am not sure what size I need to connect the bracelet to the watch body again, or to replace the bent ones in the bracelet

    Here are my questions:
    1) What size replacement spring bars do I need and where do I buy them?
    2) Is there any other band besides the classic Constellation band that will fit this watch?

    Edited to add: I believe the spring bars are this type, but what size do I need?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Leah,
    I believe what you'll need are pins and possibly tubes as well depending on which bracelet you have. I am not aware of any other bracelet that will fit on this model if you have the traditional Constellation. If you are trying to find the correct part online, make sure you search by clasp number. Hope that helps, Jan

    Hi Jan,

    Thanks for your response. I have a 6104/465 bracelet. What size spring bar do I need? 16 3/4mm? Can anyone tell me which one I should order from Ofei? http://www.ofrei.com/page1229.html

    Thanks! - Leah

    I see that my original post was somehow placed under "Modern Omega Watches", whereas it should have been place under "Vintage Omega Watches". My apologies.

    Hi Leah,
    Your watch bracelet does not use spring bars but pins. If you are buying the pin that connects the bracelet to the case, I believe you are looking for part number 128st9785
    The pin needs to be driven in. Hope this helps- Jan

    The minimum order is $15, so I need to purchase more items. Any chance you could help me with the part numbers for the next three consecutive cascading(they get smaller as the go towards the clasp...) pins/bars?

    Thanks!
