Do you know how these springs are shaped and are they to be found ?

Hi. The springs in the gents expanding Oyster bracelet are 'Z' shaped and are/were sized: 15, 14.8, 13.2, 12, and 11mm. The ladies small sizes were 9 and 6.5mm but more like circular formed springs (approx 6 turns) that had been squeezed flat. Both forms are compressed when the bracelet is expanded. Some of the sizes are obsolete and others are in short supply. They are however not difficult to make if you have the right size of sprung - flat profile - steel. Regards, Tylden.
