GenTLe 1,310 Posted Friday at 15:27 On DSSD I drilled them 1.25 or 1.3mm to fit gen-like springbar (which I don't remember if they're 1.2 or 1.25mm...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It need to be a cobalt drill N42 for properly do a inox steel...

So are we saying Vintage Datejust cases also have 2mm Springbars like the Sports models? Sent from my SM-A217F using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh I have absolutely no idea about that. If it was me, I'd just do it, and then find out afterwards that 2mm bars aren't designed for DJs. And the way I'd probably find that out is by Googling it.

NCRich 12,425 Posted Friday at 22:47 I believe vintage datejust cases use the same springbars that vintage daytonas do. 1.8mm That means the hole isn't 1.2mm and the one from raffles is probably fine the way it is. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
