Would the spring bars that Breitling ships with their rubber straps be different than the ones that ship with the bracelets? I can't seem to get a ProII bracelet fitted when trying to use the spring bars that came with an Ocean Racer strap.

Any good sources where I can pick up a couple sets of 20, 22 and 24mm spring bars?

Just ask your AD - they'll likely give you some.

Oh yeah, sorry. Any watch store will probably sell you some - just make sure that they are good quality (i.e. go to a quality watch dealer).

Failing that Otto Frei are reputable, their spring bar page is - http://www.ofrei.com/page475.html

Would the spring bars for a rubber strap be the same as for a croco or leather?
