Hi i'm looking for watch pins 22mm for TRASER or Luminox, the ones from them are pathetic the ones i bought are even worse . Anyone know a good source for watch pins?
Thx

Look for spring bars.

Seiko springbars are big and strong, never had one pop yet on any of my dive watches. They could however be too thick to use with your watch, depends upon how deep the lugs are.

Go to any large jewelry store with a watchmaker on property and ask for some stainless steel pins.

Wow, this is a timely post!

I just replaced my "forever" capacitor in my Seiko Kinetic with the latest version (now LiIon battery) yesterday and noticed that one of my springbars is a thin/cheap one. Suddenly memories of the original seiko breaking when I first got the watch reminded me I was not able to find a thick replacement.
