I was taking my watch off the other night and noticed that when I moved one strap up and down I could hear a noise coming from what sounded like inside of one of the springbars - a sound like something was loose and grinding a bit (though am not concerned as it has nothing to do with the aesthetics)

Has anyone ever had this issue before? This strap/bars have been on since I've owned the watch - perhaps it's time to get them replaced.

May be that the ends are wearing the barrel or the springs are going, but you identified the solution yourself. Couple of bucks maximum vs. risk of watch falling on to concrete.........

Ask an AD and they might give you some. I wouldn't go cheap on a spring bar - 'high end' is going to cost a couple of bucks - why go cheap and risk it.

Although not spring bars I just got the pin and screw that fits the same place as a spring bar on the Montbrillant Legende and it cost £35 for one so in comparison the spring bars are dirt cheap :shock: :shock: That was from an AD

So as a follow up to this - I stopped by an AD and the lady who worked in the part department wasn't sure exactly which springbars were the correct size. She gave me a 22mm lug size "Medium". Can anyone tell me if this is the correct size for a Navi 01 strap?

If it fits snugly in the strap then medium is correct, if it's loose then you'll need large diameter. 22mm is right.
