Hi,

Have an Omega PO 45.5mm case, 22mm lug width with rubber strap and my heavy handed brother keeps busting the spring bars out.

Andrew (Trusty Guy) tells me, "I can tell you spring bars on replicas need to be bend to fit well" but he doesn't know how / where - he says he's only a sales guy ;o).

Can someone tell me, better still show me with a photo ;o), how they should be bent?

many thanks

Daz

I've got no personal experience doing this, but watchbitz sells a special tool to do it...

Watchbitz' springbar benders work really well for POs and others where the bracelets are hard to fit (FMs).

Definitely worth the investment in this game.
