xlr8tn Report post Posted December 24, 2022 Why is it so hard to find a nice rivet? Everything looks so cheap and never in the size I need. Have any of you found a supplier for a rivet that I can use on a watch strap. Here is a good picture of the type of rivet i'm looking for. It has a head of 5mm in diameter and is made from 316L stainless steel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
327fed Report post Posted December 24, 2022 I bought a number of styles and lengths of Ready Rivets recently. When I used them none would crimp,latch, whatever the action is. All would easily pull off. Used Chicago screws and went on. Would love a quality source. Don’t know till you get them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Usually what I've found is the 5mm is the shank length and not the rivet head. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
