So I ordered some Everest spring bars and with no modifications I can now get the spring bars to engage in the holes in the lugs. :D I have to say this ARF bracelet is phenomenal. If looks just like gen, SEL position looks identical to gen and the clasp the same. It is awesome. However, now I need to decide which bracelet/band I like the best. Which one do you prefer for a more sporty look?
I think I am leaning more towards the Rubber B.

Glad that it turn out well for you!
purely personal but I do prefer bracelet than RubberB. Nonetheless, just go with what you like and enjoy :)

I've done the same (replacing a bracelet) with a gen Datejust before and bought some curved pin bars from ebay. They were dirt cheap, so I ordered a range of sizes and one set (that was 1mm shorter than the claimed size) fitted perfectly. May be worth some trial and error with curved bars!

And thank you for the tip on the Everest spring bars. They seem just a tad smaller in diameter than the Rolex spring bars which is probably why it worked and I didn't have to bend the tips. Went on just fine. ;)

Can I ask which ones you installed? The 2mm or the 1.8mm?
