Handcrafted Straps
Spring bars Rolex Submariner 5513 — 20mm drilled lugs
Set of two spring bars for Rolex Submariner reference 5513, in hardened Swiss Standard steel. Size: 20mm between the lugs. Pin diameter: 2.0mm. Compatible with the entire 5513 production, from 1962 to 1989 — the no-date Submariner with the longest production history in the Rolex catalogue.
On the 5513, the lugs are drilled throughout almost the entire production, up until the late 1980s. The pin works against a through-hole and requires the 2.0mm. Fitting the modern 1.5mm here is a mistake I see arrive regularly: strap that detaches, panicked customer, disassembly to understand what happened.
I fit them in the atelier every time I work on a 5513. Same part, same supplier, same diameter Rolex used sixty years ago.

Frequently asked questions
What diameter are these spring bars?
2.0mm pins. They are made for the through-hole lugs of the 5513, not for the modern 1.5mm.
Do they fit all 5513 Submariners?
Yes. They cover the entire production run, from 1962 to 1989. The drilled lugs remained nearly unchanged throughout that period.
Why can't i just use the 1.5mm pin i already have?
Because it sits crooked in a 2.0mm hole. I see this often at the bench: the strap comes loose, the customer gets worried, and then i have to take everything apart to figure out what happened.
What material are they made of?
Hardened Swiss Standard steel. The exact same piece i fit every time i work on a 5513.
Is the size adjustable or fixed?
Fixed: 20mm between the lugs. That's the size of the 5513, nothing else is needed.
