Spring bar dilemma

I have a 6251H Jubilee with 55 ends for my GMT and cannot find the correct springbars to fit it.

I have plenty of 20mm shoulderless but they are all too fat to go through the ends without distorting the links and endpiece tubes.

I'm assuming that I should be looking for 20mm shoulderless 1.8mm diameter but everything I see available has some sort of shoulder.

Does anyone know where I can source some?

Thanks, Jeff

Jeff,

Here is a link to Marathon OEM shoulderless springbars. They should work perfectly for you and the quality is fantastic.

Thanks, those look great. I ordered a couple of pairs and one in 18 for a 78350 that has some fat bars jammed in.

I'll review them when I get them.

Thanks again, Jeff

A 6251 with 55 end links are for a Date Just and takes 1.8mm spring bars.

You need a jubilee with 50(or 550) end links, they are made for 2.0mm spring bars. Also the end link will fit better since the 50 end link is made for 40mm cases like a GMT.

I believe the holes in the case are of different size so you might experience a quite loose fit since the 1.8mm spring bar has narrower ends.
