Have you managed to find any online seller having these? I have a B&M that came with a curved leather strap/curved quick-release spring-bars but not a color I love a lot, so I already bought a couple of other straps to use, and they look quick a bit better on the watch.
I managed to neatly insert quick-release bars which was quite a mission, I've ruined a few straps prior learning howbut the issue that remains is that the space between strap (if fitted with straight bars) and case is minimal, meaning that it rubs against the sharp-ish edge of the case and it puts and unpleasant "dent" on the strap over time.
Looking now at various watch parts websites I know like Cousins and Esslinger, and even searched on eBay and elsewhere and can't seem to find any curved quick-release bars for sale. Do you know of any such shop that sells these? Clearly many brands (including Omega) are using them on various models so must be available somewhere?
You could try bending your springbars a little, this sometimes helps. I used a dessert spoon upside down on a solid surface, gaffer tape across the top, then a little pressure at either end to get an even curve.
It maybe worth a try, good luck.

In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
Thanks, might give it a try!Originally Posted by Carlton-Browne
Will you let us know how your home made curved quick release spring bar experiment goes?

Who on earth would trust their treasured to spring bar they had bent themselves?
If it is the correct size spring bar it shouldn't matter surely. Plus I assumed that this is how many commercially sold curved spring bars are made just on an industrial scale.

Me. Done many and never had any issues so I don't see what's to worry about tbh.Sent from my SM-N960F using TZ-UK mobile app
