Anyone have an extra Hex Screw for the Fifty Fathoms? CONUS

[Doright]

One of mine fell out. I've since installed the strap with some large spring bars from Amazon but I don't like the look and it's a little wobbly.
Before I go to my TD, I thought I'd check here.
Willing to pay a reasonable price and shipping if anyone has an extra one laying around.
Thanks!

Mine fell out too and my TD is trying to source it for me since couple of weeks ago The factory seems doesn't want to supply the parts.

Thanks, I guess this is a common occurrence.

I just realized mine has a screw missing as well. fml.

anyone has any luck sourcing the screws? or perhaps a replacement screw for the time being?

 

[Boudou1er]

Me to... It Will be great if we can find a source.

i've lost one of my hex screws as well. thought i was the only unlucky one. pains me to see a beauty lying in the box not having any wear time with the fear that the strap might just come loose.

please if anyone have an alternative or a source we can purchase a new set of lug bars, that'll be great!

There was someone who modify bell and ross bar to fit blancpain no?

Mine is still intact(knock on wood) but can't you just fit a spring bar?

Replaced the original hexscrew lugbar with the below, generic and reinforced springbars. They sit tight and solid, easy and fast to change the strap through the lugholes, never looked back and use 24mm PAM straps as well. These where the ones I had and they worked well, so no idea if 23mm of this spec will even work.

thanks for the headsup daywatch! you've got them in size 22mm? any chance you've got a spare set and don't mind shipping it to me? can't seem to open up the website you posted.

 

[bennyb]

Daywatch, do you have some pics of your ff with spring bar? Thx

 

[rockstardc]

Hey guys, lost my screw and then resorted to spring bars. Doesn't look too bad but I'm pretty anal about it. But the good news is, my dealer actually managed to hook me up with a replacement. Tony is just super awesome!

All my ff pics (except the very first with the original straps are with springbars). As said they are more functional for changing straps. All vintage Rolex work that way.

Datwatch, care to share where you picked up your spring bars for the FF?
I got some from Amazon but they do not sit in the lug holes tightly.

I didnt loose mine but im so scared that the hex screw will get rounded the next time i removed/fit a strap, so im looking for spring bar replacements.

But its weird that 22mm actually fits well, since 22mm actually means "the length when the bar are compressed both sides". So 22mm on a 23mm lug width watch seems to be on the loose side.

Im trying out various size/types of spring bars to replace the original rep bars, will share if I found a good one, else i will get a set like yours from CousinUK.

Use a T4 torx screwdriver.

Once you tighten it, avoid removing it, ever.

Do you have the link where i can buy it? Im located in Indonesia by the way, so probably only ebay that can ship to my address
