5110G / spring bars Q
By: bsandovalb : May 3rd, 2022-16:43
Want to try different straps on this 5110g, I know it is recommended to use gold spring bars on gold cases to avoid damaging the holes at the lugs. Do you follow this recommendation? Is the damage caused by using steel spring bars really something to worr...
thanks!

yes, perhaps find straps that do not come with quick release, and just use the spring bars on the current strap
keep enjoying that summer move!

My local AD is not the most helpful, unfortunately.... and besides, as I did not buy this watch from them, they even questioned the authenticity of it, go figure! ... they leave a lot to be desired, and I have been a client for some years, buying other wa...

I didn't know you had so many bears! No wonder you have so many credit card bills!
Thanks for your input, Yacomino

actual experience is very valuable!... would guess the potential issues would come after many years of use and depending on the use of the watch (for example, a white gold diver that would see some tougher use, perhaps)

Have worn many different strap with many different spring bars on my 5110G. Quite sure the bars have all been steel and quite sure I haven't noticed any problems because of them! Here it is on shell cordovan: and here just in from the rain on calf: and ou...
Good to know!

your strap choices are great on your 5110g
Nothing to worry about
