Sources for spring bars

Here are a few sources for spring bars. I haven't tried them, myself. Please add your favorite spring bar suppliers.

You pick the size, they send you four:

Last November, I got 30 1.8mm double flanged bars from Esslinger.com for $12.31 shipped.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

Panatime has a sale going today. I have tacked on spring bars with a strap order. No issues.
Just my $0.02 USD as always.

I just wish there was a kit that only carried say 16-24mm with plenty of those sizes.

Who really needs 7mm springbar?

I have a couple of Aliexpress stores that have provided good quality 1.8mm springbars. I have a bunch of 18, 20 and 22mm springbars (20-22mm are stuck at the work). I was thinking about making small kits that could be easily mailed that would have ~4 of each size. Would that be of general interest?

I will post sources when I get a chance.

Edit: Adding links.

Pick your size- 19-24mm springbars 1.8mm 20pack- watch the shipping on this one presently. Buy multiple packs and the shipping becomes reasonable.

Pick your size- 8-25mm springbars 1.78mm
~$3.30 shipped per 100 pack
Yes you get 100 of a single size, but they are good quality, way better than the 1.5mm that you get in the bargain variety packs. I bought one of these packs in 18mm, and they are quite good. If you wanted 17-23mm, that would put you back about $25 if you figure in taxes.

Every watch with a nato gets the fat boy if there is enough room.
