Spring bars Rolex GMT-Master — complete set for the line
€12,95
Set of two spring bars for Rolex GMT-Master, in hardened Swiss Standard steel. Pin diameter available in 1.5mm, 1.8mm and 2.0mm depending on the reference. The GMT-Master was released in 1955 with the 6542 and continues through to today’s 126710: the correct pin changes with the era.
On the early GMTs, 6542 and 1675, the pin is 2.0mm. On the vintage 16700 and 16710 it drops to 1.8mm. On the modern 116710 and 126710 with blind lugs it is 1.5mm. This is not marketing — it is the original Rolex specification read from the service sheets.
The same piece I fit in the atelier when I work on a GMT. I always replace the spring bars when changing the strap, even if the old ones look fine. The pin works every day.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know which diameter my GMT-Master needs?
It depends on the reference. On the 6542 and the 1675, the pin is 2.0mm. On the 16700 and the 16710, it drops to 1.8mm. On the 116710 and the 126710, with hidden lugs, it is 1.5mm. Tell me the reference and I'll indicate the right pin.
Is the diameter a choice you make or a Rolex specification?
It's the original specification, taken from the service sheets. I don't decide the pin for a 6542 or a 126710: it's set by the reference.
Why replace the spring bars if the old ones still look fine?
The pin works every day, with every movement of the wrist. At the bench, I always replace them when fitting a new strap on a GMT, even if the old ones show no signs of wear. It's a matter of safety, not aesthetics.
What material are these spring bars made of?
Hardened Swiss Standard steel. The same one I fit when working on a GMT-Master.
Does the set include spring bars for just one strap?
Yes, two spring bars: the ones needed to fit a strap on your GMT-Master, from the 6542 to today's 126710.
