I have to assume that there are different qualities of spring bars out there. For some reason I noticed that some of the more expensive watches in my collection utilize spring bars whereas the more economical ones utilize screws to fasten the bands to the case. So, is there a major difference, and if so, who makes (or where to buy) some of the better quality spring bars. I was reading an article where someone lost a very expensive dive watch due to a spring bar breaking. Luckily they were able to find it. That got me thinking to perhaps switch out my springbars to known excellent quality (tough) ones. That is what got me thinking...

A seldom area that is often overlooked is where the pin connects to the lug. The lug hole maybe worn or damaged. In the case with the current Movado,I am seeing signs were these holes are drilled 0.5 inch too shallow for which allows the pin to sit in properly. There is no cure except to use a pin with a smaller diameter pivot end,for this situation. The replacement pins we use in the store are Swiss Made,like the ones that you can order from Otto Frei.
