Vostok Strap Pin? [HELP]
Hey folks,
So I recently sold me Vostok Komandirskie 280681 on eBay, only for the poor buyer to return it when they noticed the retaining screw on the strap pin was missing.
I've tried looking online, but I can't find anything the same anywhere. I've had the callipers on them and here's the measurements:
W - 27.5mm (strap lug is 20mm)
T - 1.3mm
I've included a couple of pics for reference. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement pin please? Or what they're called so I can search for them?
Thanks!

Is there a reason you can't just use a standard spring bar? You could go to any jeweler and have them fit one in for a dollar.

As it's shown in the pictures, there's a hole drilled right through the watch casing for the captive screw, so a spring bar would just fall right out.
But plenty of watches have drilled through lugs, you just need a longer spring bar.

I have a box a different size spring bars, none of them work. Trust me, I've tried. It seems it needs this very specific type of bar, which is annoying.

Thanks, but that seems to be Vostok Europe, and there's no listing for the Komandirskie.

You can also look at vostoks own website too.

Thick spring bars?, you can get real thick jobbies that wouldn't go right through?

I used 20mm springboard on mine and so far it works just fine
