Handcrafted Straps
Spring bars Rolex vintage 20mm × 2mm — drilled lugs
Set of two spring bars for vintage Rolex with drilled lugs, in hardened Swiss Standard steel. Size: 20mm between lugs. Pin diameter: 2.0mm. Compatible with most Rolex sport tools from the Sixties to Eighties with drilled lug holes: Submariner 5513, 1680, 16800, GMT 1675, 16750, Daytona 6263, Sea-Dweller 1665.
The 2.0mm is the original Rolex specification for sport cases with drilled lugs. The larger pin works better against an open hole: it pushes against more wall, distributes the load, doesn’t wobble. The modern 1.5mm doesn’t hold here — I’ve seen it fail on a GMT 16750 with a leather strap in under two months.
Same part I fit on every vintage Rolex I work on in the atelier.

Frequently asked questions
What size are these spring bars?
20mm between the lugs, 2.0mm pin. This is the original Rolex specification for sport cases with drilled lugs.
Will they fit my Submariner 5513?
Yes. They are designed for Rolex sport tool watches with a drilled lug hole: Submariner 5513, 1680, 16800, GMT 1675, 16750, Daytona 6263, Sea-Dweller 1665.
Why not use the more common 1.5mm pin?
A thin pin works against a hole designed for 2.0mm: less contact surface, more play. I have seen it fail on a GMT 16750 fitted with a leather strap after less than two months.
What material is it made of?
Hardened Swiss Standard steel. It holds up under load even with heavier straps, without flexing in the hole.
Are these the same ones you fit on vintage Rolex watches?
Yes. It is the same part I fit on every vintage Rolex I work on in my Casati atelier.
