Spring-loaded pin popped out, how do I fix it?

While tinkering with my 16622 yachtmaster, which has seen a couple years of daily use, the spring bar connecting the band to the face of the watch popped out and flew.....somewhere, I havent been able to find it. Where is the best place to buy a new spring bar and how do I go about installing it?

Go to your local AD and I'm sure they have them available. Otherwise, you can always buy aftermarket (non-Rolex) pin/spring bars online or your local watchmaker or watch supply store.

If you do it yourself its easy to do as you push in one side and then the other side. it's a very intuitive process.

Take a nylon stocking (we call nylon panty) from your wife/girlfriend/daughter/neighbour.

Put the stocking between the pipes of your vacuum cleaner , most of the times is can be separated in two pieces

Vacuum the room , take out the nylon stocking with caution...tadaa , it'll propably be there.

Pro's :

- Your woman will be happy because you volunteered to vacuum the room
- She is allready out of her stockings
- You'll wear your Rollie allready this evening

Con's

- She'll expect you to vacuum again next week
- She'll be waiting without stockings... :')
