I know that normally you would not use leather strap springbars on a bracelet due to the pin (pointed vs. flat) setup. However, can the appropriate springbars be purchased at a place like Otto Frei? I need to put the mesh bracelet on a SOH 46, which currently has the leather strap. I do not want to use the leather strap bars as I guessing the same rule of thumb follows on this model as other models.

Thanks!

You need a 1.5mm diameter springbar, and yes ofrei sells them.

Excellent, thanks! Would I need to specify the specifics for the SOH 46 or just the regular bars?

Only variables are diameter and lug width (24mm).

Thanks. I was wondering on the point on the bars as the bracelet ones can seem to have more of a point for fitment into the case vs. the ones for a strap.

Looks like the order has to be for quite a few of the bars! And they do get you on shipping too.

I sent a note to request them. I figured they would be more costly vs. a 3rd party on the web.
