I had the same problem *LINK*
In Response To: HELP!! -- Goldilocks and the three Ploprof springb ()


Hi Momar,

I had the same problem with my PloProf a few years ago. Mine came on it's original 1162 bracelet, the spring bars were too thick to use with the mesh & the spring bars that I could find, that fitted in the mesh, were simply to small for the holes in the case & fell through.

I ended up buying a pair from Australia. I Paid a LOT of money just for 2 spring bars, but at least I knew they were 100% correct. The prices have come down since then.

here's a Link to a current auction.

The Omega part number is :- 068 st 9928
so maybe you have a friendly Omega AD close to you, that can help you source the parts,

Or as e.csn suggests, one of the internet parts suppliers maybe able to supply them.

If you are in the UK you could try Cousins :- www.cousinsuk.com

or ( as e.csn said ) Ofrei.

Let us know how you get on

& BTW, you have a really nice PloProf. Do we have any other PloProf owners in the house ?

Steve
