Hmm.. may be I should try that...
Sounds good William...now, here is what I've found based on some looking around...(I've also ordered some Ofrei spring bars (since I need some anyway for the Seamasters).
The 03 springbars from Ofrei appear to be true 20mm springbars which Omega prefers for installing the Omega leather and rubber...I have not measured the springbars that came with the Speedy bracelet combos, but have read that Omega prefers 19mm bars for ease of installation with the ss bracelet (makes sense due to the tight tolerances of the end link fit to the case and getting enough compression of the bar to make removing/installing the bracelet quick and pain free)...so I'm not completely sure the 03 springbars are going to fix the issue???
...I've also ordered some "bent" spring bars from another source because my rookie effort at bending a cheapie springbar resulted in clear yielding/crimping of the springbar which can't be good in the long term and could definitely present some problems down the road....
...just sharing my thoughts...I'm learning as I go here...
