Where can I buy 'skinny fat' spring bars for Seiko divers (other than Watch Gecko)?

[Rocket Man]

I want to buy a set of replacement spring bars to fit a Seiko dive watch (SPB143).

I need “Skinny Fat” spring bars, the same thickness as a normal spring bar but with larger 1.1mm tips to fit Seiko lugs.

I bought a set from Watch Gecko in June last year when they cost £2.46 and postage was £1.65, so £4.11 total.

However now the spingbars cost £4.00 and postage is £4.99, which makes them £8.99!!!

I'm not prepared to pay £9 for a pair of Spring bars, are there any alternatives?

Thanks in advance.

You could try Cousins, they might have them.

I'm sure the last ones I bought were from eBay, that was a few years ago though and I have no idea about price. I'm sure Etsy used to do them as well.

Found some available in the UK, but 2mm not 1.8mm

Has anyone tried this seller?
