    [QUOTE=happyscrappyheropup;494881]I put the Fortis on Iyonk, unfortunately there was a lug bar problem. Any suggestions on a source for new bars? Fortis directly?



    Short term spring bar should work. Cousins almost deffo would have something , not sure at the mo. they would be there. Ebay keep sending out about sites , so must be someone somewhere around , or wait until this mess is over

    Can't use spring bars, the screwed lug bars are huge.

    I reached out to Watchbuys. They are a US AD for Fortis. They sell the bars for $30/pair. Ordering a new set.

    I should have warn you about those screws, because it happened to me once. They don't need be too tight, because they break easily. In fact, in use, they don't come loose.

    This was a few years back, and I think I got them from here:

    https://watchparts24.de/Genuine-FORT...d-other-models

    I can see they're also available here:

    https://www.uhrband24.com/en/fitting...ug-screws/?p=1




    Oh, never mind. To late. I can see you already found those itens.
