PING went the spring bar...

..and flew away never to be seen again.

Bugger.

Any damage to the watch? I'm going to be buying some larger diameter bars off the fleabay to avoid this very issue.

Yeah I bet there's a few thousand of them in close earth orbit as space flotsam.

There's only one thing known (in my limited experience) to ping further. 1.5mm Ø pusher circlips ! LOL

Oh it wasn't spontaneous, I was fiddling with it at the time. Got spares at home but am now wearing my watch backwards to keep it on. Sigh. Trying to think of a jewellers close to queen sq, bristol...

I'm not sure how many hundreds of spring bars I have accumulated over the years. So when one makes a jailbreak and dashes for freedom (not to worry, he'll be abducted by the vacuum cleaner), it's no great cause for alarm. Had I been forced to do so however, I could have bought some...

you're right near town, so the usual suspects are on your doorstep (EJ, GS, H Sam. etc)

Went into St Nick's market in the end, job done :)

Together with all the dratted Seiko, Casio and Omega collars...

I still need to order a new 20mm bar for my Skagen. We were doing a damn team building activity on college. The beater managed to get caught on something. Before I knew one side of the bracelet was coming down, and a VERY bent spring bar flew off never to be seen again...
