My local AD has Rolex spring bars in stock. He sold me a new one for $6. I think the Rolex spring bars are made of stainless steel, that may not be the case with the spring bars sold at the mall watch kiosk.

Thanks,
I went to a local jeweler (not an AD because I don’t thing the AD close by has anything. I don’t even see a jeweler’s bar/desk). The local jeweler was quite nice and they sold me a spring bar for the clasp for $6US. It seems to fit well and appears to be stainless steel. I should have asked the Dallas RCS for some bars of various kinds when I was there but I got so frustrated with them I forgot.

About any watchmaker... even the guys at the mall, probably have a springbar for you...... This doesn't require some super/hyper/overpriced Rolex branded part...

Thanks Tools, Local jeweler was able to set me up
I do not understand why RSC NY did not replace it when it went in for service. The watch went unworn after 95, so no way did it look any better than it did when I removed it.
