....using them with springbars depends on which springbar as there are many styles and not all are compatible with the tubes...with some that don't have a single or double circumference ring straps are harder to remove once in place with the tubes because the tube is very close to the inside of the lug....I only use them with watches that have lug screws as it does add tensile strength and fills any void left from some after market strapmakers who like to leave excess leather or larger lug holes in their straps.
