Hi all. I just changed my bracelet over from my strap, and was sitting down on the couch watching tv. I went to get up, and when I bent my wrist my bracelet fell off my watch and the springbar is god knows where now. I never had an issue before, the only thing i can think is other than the springbar being a different size for the bracelet and band, I didn't have both ends of the springbar seated properly. At the very least I need to know the correct size to order. I know I can call and order one from and AD, I figured I'd check here first. Thanks in advance, Matt

I edited this to not be a WTB as that would have to be moved to sales and you are really asking for advice.

Bracelet and strap springbars are different, you need 1.5mm diameter for bracelet, 1.8mm for strap and the width is the same as the lug width.

Which spring bar fell out? Was it the one where the bracelet end link meets the lugs? UTC module meets the lugs or UTC module joins the bracelet?

UTC module. The bottom set of lugs. Luckily I didn't drop the watch.

Went with aftermarket spring bars. they were a lot cheaper and made of stainless. Plus I've heard a few people using aftermarket ones with good results. I got extras in case it ever happens again. :oops:
