Dear all,
I took the bead of rice bracelet off my new sub200 to resize, but for the life of me I can put it back.

I can't even put the spring bar through the endlink and the link.

I even try to just put the spring bar though bead itself. Didn't work!

Am I missing something? How would that be possible?

(Edited: more details)

I was working on the watch on my dining table with a desk mat, and there shouldn't be any spare spring bar there. Only the two spring bars for the lugs and the one...

Sub200 bracelet help (spring bar won't fit?!)
