Spring bars Rolex GMT-Master 16700 — 20mm × 2.0mm
€12,95
Set of two spring bars for Rolex GMT-Master reference 16700, in hardened Swiss Standard steel. Size: 20mm between the lugs. Pin diameter: 2.0mm. For the entire 16700 production, from 1988 to 1999 — the transitional GMT that replaced the 1675, retaining the drilled lugs.
The 16700 is the GMT that few understand. Released in 1988, in production until 1999, it is Rolex’s last non-II GMT-Master. An already modern case, but still with drilled lugs. 2.0mm pin, as on the 1675 and the early 16710. It is consistent with the vintage Rolex specification for the through-hole.
When I see a 16700 arrive at the atelier, these are the spring bars I fit. The same piece I used on my own 16710 before 2003.

Frequently asked questions
What size are these spring bars?
20mm between the lugs, 2.0mm pin diameter. These are the measurements of the 16700, from the first example in 1988 to the last in 1999.
What material are they made of?
Hardened Swiss Standard steel. They hold tension even after years of removals.
Do they fit all 16700 models?
Yes. Across the entire production run, from 1988 to 1999. The case changes slightly over the years, but the drilled lugs remain the same.
Why is the pin 2.0mm and not another diameter?
Because the 16700 still has drilled lugs, like the 1675 before it and the early 16710 after it. Rolex kept that specification for the through-hole until the generation change.
Are these the same spring bars used on a 16710?
On the early 16710, the one with still-drilled lugs, yes. On the later 16710 models, with closed lugs, no. I fit those myself when one of these references comes to the bench.
