What should new spring bars cost???
I need to order new spring bars for my 1680 with 93150 bracelet, and am curious what Rolex will be charging for these little pieces.
Anyone have a clue? Thanks, |

Don't go cheap on those either. You can tell the difference in the cheap ones, and the good ones. If it cost $15.00 spend it. Save yourself the heartache!

Thanks guys. Just got the call from the AD, and it looks like $16 for a pair. I was expecting something more like $50 for the rolex blessing of authenticity. Finally something reasonable.
Cheers, |

And there I was 15 minutes ago complaining that I had to pay about $9.00 for a pair of Omega spring bars.

My AD charges me $12 a pair for SD no-hole case springbars. I change mine every 6 months. They used to charge me $16 a pair for the hole case springbars.

Why do you change them every 6 months? Seems excessive to me.

why every 6 months?
I started out changing the springbars on my nd sub (hole case) every 6 months because I changed straps so often, the tip of the bar would become noticably scratched, and by replacing the bar, I could make the watch look newer by not having gouged up bars poking through the lug holes. I simply continued this practice when I got my no-hole case SD. Maybe its excessive, but I see it as inexpensive preventative maintanence.
