    Millemetri incoming! Springbars?

    Happy to have one of these back in my collection, never should have sold my other two!

    Anyone know if there are any springbars that will work with this one? I hate messing with the screws. thanks!

    This is unverified, but I heard that Seiko 22 mm "fat bars" fit nicely. My only concern the spring bars are not going to look that great from the sides of the lugs where the screw head should be. Hope this hepls. Dan

    Thanks Dan, that is helpful, can live with the aesthetics - wouldn't think it looks too much different than drilled lugs.

    I'm curious about this myself. I find the screw bars very cumbersome to work with and it's worse for my steel bracelet since the holes don't align perfectly for some reason.

    If where you... i get the HEX type Anonimo lugbars... Already i have some on the old case and works fine and easy to change straps... or get a case holder in order to change the strap and don't do damage to the case or screws.

    Nelson, didn't know they worked on the old cases. Source in the US or do these need to come from Italy? Any idea on cost? thanks!

    Re: Millemetri incoming! Springbars?

    Everyone with Anonimo will tell you the new hex screws don't work.... but they do. They just aren't completely flush with the case like the standard slotted screws. I was planning on getting a set for my Mille until I found out how much they were. I was quoted $130 for the set of screws/bars. And that doesn't include the tool either. You can easily get a tool for cheap from the local hardware store but at $130 they should include it.

    Peck12 is correct... at least tool will be included.... Call Topper Jewelers 888-730-2221 or 650-347-2221 ask for Rob and confirm price... and let us know.
