I now need a few sets of spring bars - for the strap connecting to watch head (Pam312)

I purchased a rubber strap, have an alligator grain coming, along with another custom strap.
Would these be a good choice:

What are the tubes for, that I see in other "packages"?

Or what set would you guys recommend from this link?

I need nothing for buckles at all - strictly where the watch head connects to strap. I want to leave a set of spring bars in every one of my straps obviously (to make changing that much easier.)

Thanks....!

You should not need springbars. Your 312 should have quick release pins on the underside of the lug sets. You depress the pin and the bar holding the strap to the watch should slide out. They should look like this------> http://www.panatime.com/24rebafornep.html

Tubes slide inside the ends of the strap and the bar slides into the tube. It prevents direct contact and rubbing of the bar against the strap as it moves. You need some tubes. They come in handy if you have multiple straps.

+1 on the tubes. You only need spring bars in case the QR on your 312 malfunctions.

Thanks gents!!!

So basically, on the link Fiddo provided above:
I buy one pair of bars/pins - @ $9.50 PER Strap.
That package from Panatime includes then, everything I Need.
So I take the bars/pins - insert in strap and leave there forever. And every strap has its own set, which makes changing them out easy.
I think I'm actually familiar with the quick release system as I've had a few Lum-Tec models which utilize them/very easy.!!

So if I have 3 straps that I plan to rotate, I should add that link X3 to cart so essentially $28.50 before discount.

Thanks for the coupon code as well !!

If you are buying a new rep it will come with strap bars and tubes inside the strap already
You can just reuse

It makes strap changes quicker if you have multiple sets of tubes but no reason to have extra strap bars/screws
