Handcrafted Straps
Spring bars Rolex Day-Date 218238 gold — 20mm
Set of two spring bars for Rolex Day-Date 218238 in yellow gold, in hardened Swiss Standard steel. Size: 20mm between the lugs. Pin 1.5mm. The 218238 is the Day-Date II 41mm produced from 2008 to 2015, before the return to the 40 format with the 228238.
The Day-Date II 218238 is the largest President ever produced by Rolex before the modern 40. 41mm case with lugs still at 20mm — a proportionally narrower format. The 1.5mm pin holds well on the blind hole, but the 218238 with the President bracelet remains a piece that is rarely worked on with a leather strap. When it happens, these are the spring bars.
The same piece I fit on the Day-Date II of clients who want to try leather.

Frequently asked questions
Are these spring bars suitable for my Day-Date II 218238?
Yes. 20mm lug width, 1.5mm pin: this is the exact size for the 218238, the 41mm Day-Date II produced from 2008 to 2015.
What material is it?
Hardened Swiss Standard steel. The same one I fit when a customer brings their Day-Date II to the counter to try a leather strap.
Does the 1.5mm pin hold well on this watch?
Yes, it holds well in the blind hole of the 218238. This is the correct size for this model, not a compromise.
Are they also suitable for the more recent 228238?
No, these are for the 218238, 41mm case. The 228238 went back to the 40mm size: please check the reference on your watch before ordering.
Why are these useful for those wanting to switch from the President bracelet to leather?
The 218238 with the President bracelet is not particularly well suited to a leather strap due to its proportions. When a customer still wants to try the switch, I fit precisely these spring bars.
