r11co Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Following the earlier loss and replacement of the screw holding the clasp/fliplock section of the bracelet on my TAG Link, the strap came apart again today, though this time at the other end of the clasp. The reason - probably the worst quality springbar I have ever seen is holding this end together. I can only assume the spring has weakened with age because it was incapable of pushing both prongs out the ends at the same time. I would advise other owners of this popular rep to replace the bar pronto with something sturdier. The bar is 9mm end to end not including the prongs. For a tip on how to remove the bar, as its ends are not particularly accessible deep in the holes of the bracelet link, see the attached pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r11co Posted September 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Any springbar replacement suggestions? I happened to have one in my spares box, recovered from my long broken and sadly missed Silix Oris TT1 which had very thick lugs, hence the short springbar. 9mm is a typical size for a ladies watch though.
