OEM Spring Bar 22mm 10 Pcs Non-Magnetic Stainless Steel 22mm x 1.8mm x 0.8mm Double Fringe

I've been having issues with my cheap spring bars that came with my replacement watch straps that kept popping off randomly when my watch was bumped. These Seiko spring bars are just slightly larger in diameter (1.8mm) compared to the 1.5mm diameter ones that were giving me issues. The big difference is the spring tension is much, much stronger on these Seiko spring bars. The flange on the spring bar ends are also larger which makes removing the watch strap slightly easier.I've had zero issues after installing these Seiko spring bars with my watch strap popping off.Note that the packaging is the typical, very low key Japanese style. These are the real deal if you're looking for higher quality spring bars.

I bought these assuming they were the fat diver's bars. I should have read further, but that's my mistake. I may not use them but I'm giving them 5 stars because they arrived in two days, seem to be great quality, and they say they're Seiko brand bars. They are quite a bit thinner than Seiko fat diver's bars. Here is a photo for comparison.

I am not knocking the quality of the spring bars as they are much better then the usual 22m one's you get with most watches but for whatever reason they just don't seem to fit that well in my Seiko SX009. They seem to wiggle around a bit which scares me that one day they will pop out.You will laugh but I have had one of my first watches (An Invicta - I know scold me) where the pins have bent and the watch fell - so I really want to stick with solid spring bars these days. So far so good after a few months so maybe its just something im not used too - only been collecting watches for about a year.

The product fit my seizo watch perfectly. It slipped out a few times, maybe because my watch strap is small. BUT I noticed my watch fitting looser than normal, look down and see the rod is BENT. I dont do anything particularly strenuous with my hands at work. I expect better when paying 10 bucks for a name brand watch rod.

These spring bars from Seiko are thicker than what would have come with the watch. They're not as thick as the ones sold by LongIslandWatch.com but for the price you get 6 pairs. If you need anything stronger, you're better off with the ones sold at LongIsland. Expect to pay more though.

Excellent quality at a fair price. Avoid the low priced offerings as they are junk.......the pins are the only things keeping your watch from falling to the ground......DON'T SKIMP!

Couldn't be happier. Yes, they are NOT the Seiko fat spring bars which is exactly why I bought them. If you want to put an aftermarket strap on your SKX, or any other Seiko diver, the original Seiko fat bars make it tough since they don't easily fit in the strap or band holes. These bars fit perfectly while maintaining great tension in the lugs. These are significantly better than the junk spring bars that are usually included with most aftermarket straps. The double flange on the pin ends make installation and removal much easier than the OEM fat bars that are always a struggle to remove since they lack a flange. Will use them on all my other 22mm lug watches too. And the price for 10 is also a big plus. Like I said, couldn't be happier.

It fit perfect in my seiko diver, they look great quality and resistant.
