    Seiko 'fat' springbar smaller alternative? Now sorted, Thanks TZ

    Can anyone recommend/suggest where I can get some 1.1mm end spring bars, regular diameter of 1.78mm?

    I'm looking to fit a Hirsch strap to my Seiko tuna and the regular seiko fat bars are way too cosy, I fear if I get them in I may not get them out.
    I've found some 1.1/2.0 diameter but struggling to find the 'normal' size

    I tried using the search function and nothing obvious appeared
    any help appreciated
    cheers
    Ian

    Are you saying the 2mm bar are still too tight? I was going to suggest the Watch Gecko 1.1/2 but it sounds like you've tried them.

    No sorry, I haven't ordered the Watchgecko ones yet but they are the ones I was considering trying

    Ive had quite a few from Watchgecko and they work a treat. Ive also used them in a Hirsch strap. They do them with collard ends as well to make them easier to remove.
