Good springbars for vintage rollies

[Serpico2022]

Hey gentiles,

Where can i get the good springbars that when on the watch, the tips stick out through the lugholes...
Bought from Borel and Wholesale on Ebay but theirs have flat tips, not rounded like the gens

So you want the tips to stick out through the lugholes?

I keep meaning to try and find some where the tips don't stick out of the lugholes! I've got loads of pairs that stick out.

I would take a shot at buffing the ends into a spherical shape first on something like a150 grit flap wheel then polish if required.

PM me your address, and I'll post you a pair. But I think all mine may have flat tips too. I'll check.

Fold a piece of sandpaper in a cone, then spin it baby.

If you use a dremel it’s super fast…but don’t overdo it
