Spring Bars Rolex 20mm × 1.8mm — Fat Bars
Set of two Rolex 20mm × 1.8mm spring bars, blind ends, in hardened Swiss Standard steel. Intermediate diameter between the modern 1.5mm and the vintage 2.0mm. Designed for Submariner 14060, GMT 16700 and 16710 of the transitional era, where Rolex fitted pins wider than the modern standard.
1.8mm is the transitional diameter of the Nineties. More material than the 1.5mm, less than the vintage 2.0mm. It holds better on the lugs of these references, which have a recess slightly wider than the 1.5mm standard. On the 14060 in particular, the 1.5mm wobbles — serious collectors notice it immediately.
I keep them in my drawer for the Rolex transitions of the Nineties. Same supplier.

Frequently asked questions
Do these fit my Submariner 14060?
Yes, they're designed specifically for that reference. Rolex fitted wider pins than the modern 1.5mm, and on this case the standard diameter tends to wobble. The 1.8mm holds better in the recess.
What's the difference between 1.5mm, 1.8mm and 2.0mm?
The 1.8mm is the transitional size from the nineties. More material than the modern 1.5mm, less than the vintage 2.0mm. A precise match for those references, not a generic alternative.
Are they also suitable for the GMT 16700 or 16710?
Yes. These are the two transitional references I have in mind when I keep them in stock. Same reason as the Submariner 14060: Rolex fitted wider pins during those years.
What material are they made of?
Hardened Swiss Standard steel. The same supplier I always source these spring bars from for Rolex transitional models.
How many spring bars are in the pack?
A set of two, shouldered tips, 20mm × 1.8mm diameter. What's needed to fit a strap on these cases.
