What are herniated spring bars?

Ones that poke out like a hernia where they shouldnt.

I hope the springbars are too long as opposed to the lugs having been polished so badly they’re now half missing!

Is it because the case has been polished to within a mm of its life, or just because they've fitted the wrong size bars? I always assumed the former when I've seen other examples.

And is it my screen or do those pics have the brightness turned up to 11? Zinging.

I've got to say - that's the most ludicrous selling spiel for buying a secondhand watch I've ever seen.

Case looks very thin at the lugs to me.
Could be a mix of both as generic bars are flat ended rather than curved like OEM, but I suspect 70% dead case and 30% wrong bars.

I see it’s a 1973 model - I’m a 1969 and to be fair my lugs have seen some polishing!

Well at the very least I've learned something about buying a used Rolex, thanks Selfridges.
