Do you offer that or is just a one-off occasion?

Occasionally. It's a way smarter to manufacture them at a factory by thousands, not hand made piece by piece [/quote]Gotcha

Does anybody of you guys have a source for these 26mm spring bars, where you are not paying 10$+ for a pair?

I’ve never seen them cheaper than 20-25usd, but I’m ready to pay even more. The problem is they are either too short or too thin for the correct 6152 cases.

26mm spring bars from Adrian are short...
I need to buy another set compression lug bars from Gordon.

as [mention]NortON[/mention] said, Athaya. Maybe River. But they have that problem he has mentioned.

That's why I asked about the possibility of buying from you

Yep, I know those sources and also ran loads of searches at many places; alas, nothing.

It seems that I will stay with welding wire and a tube

Derailed the watch related things, but it is what I have been working on. A very old cedar cigar case/humidor.

Hm, it appears to be upside down...

I found out that it is much more comforting to work on things that won't be affected by magnetism, has no hairsprings looking like a bird's nest, broken staffs, messed up parts, searching for old and odd stuff, so fishing gear, fly reels and so on is the way to go for me and my tools fits this very well.

Seems to be more relaxing

It is, no hassle and no time keeping issues.

Could very well be my goodbye to watches.
