Tudor Pelagos Springbars

[nyyankees]

Anyone know the number or dimensions for the Pelagos 22mm springsbars ?

Never had such a hard time getting a bracelet off before and I think I better get a second pair.

Thanks

And the answer is (In case anyone else is looking) 22mm compressed and 1.8mm round!

Apparently, nobody else is...

Any idea of the end (tip) diameter for these?

I find those to be the easiest. Tape the tops of your lugs and push the bracelet to the top instead of the bottom if you're having a hard time.

That doesn't sound right; I think the body diameter is 1.8 mm...

I agree. Tips on older "lug holes" Rolex models used 1.2mm ends. I tried some bars with .90 ends but they wiggled a bit, where 1.2 was too large. I'm guessing 1.0, but would love to know for sure, if anyone has calipers and a Pelagos...

In case anyone happens across this thread in the future;

The older "lug holes" Rolex models used a 1.2 mm diameter tip IIRC, but the newer stuff likely doesn't. When I use NATO's I always install shoulder-less spring bars, to provide as close to a fixed-bar experience as possible, since NATO's were designed for fixed-bar type watches. When I installed some shoulder-less bars from County Comm (approx .9 mm tips) - on my latest Pelagos - I noticed a little wiggle. The 1.2 mm ends of the old style Rolex bars were too thick and didn't fully seat in the holes. The Seiko style fat-bars also seemed a bit thick on the Pelagos, so I ordered some 1.0 mm tipped bars from Hank (on eBay) and they seem to be a perfect fit, with minimal wiggle. Close inspection under my loupe suggests these are the same tip diameter as the stock Pelagos spring bars, so I believe these will be my final choice.

When using a shoulder-less spring bar in a watch without drilled lugs, one will need to snip the bar out with a pair of wire cutters when removal is desired. I don't find this a problem at all and I feel more secure when wearing NATO's.
