Handcrafted Straps
Spring bars Rolex GMT-Master II 16710 — drilled lugs
Set of two spring bars for Rolex GMT-Master II reference 16710, in hardened Swiss Standard steel. Size: 20mm between the lugs. Pin diameter: 2.0mm. Designed for the 16710 with drilled lugs, produced between 1988 and 2003 — before the transition to the closed case.
The 16710 is one of the few modern GMTs with the through-hole. It changes the way you remove the strap — all you need is a pin punch, no levers. But it also changes how the pin works: against an open hole, the 2.0mm is required. On my personal 16710, purchased in 2001, I have always fitted these spring bars.
A suitable size for the entire 16710 production prior to 2003. For the later models without the hole, the modern 1.5mm pin is required.

Frequently asked questions
What diameter are these spring bars?
The pin is 2.0mm. This size is designed for the through-hole on the 16710, not for closed lugs.
Will they fit my GMT-Master II?
It depends on the year. If your 16710 was produced between 1988 and 2003, with drilled lugs, this size is correct. From 2003 onward the case has closed lugs and requires a 1.5mm pin.
How are they fitted?
With an awl, through the through-hole. No levers, no risk of scratching the lugs.
What material are they made of?
Hardened Swiss Standard steel. I've been fitting them on my own 16710, bought in 2001, for years.
Is the lug width always 20mm on this model?
Yes, the 16710 has a 20mm lug width throughout its entire production, both before and after 2003. Only the pin diameter changes, not the strap width.
