According to my crap calipers, lug with is 18mm on the watch head, but the original roached curved spring bars are 21mm tip-to-tip when fully extended.
If I purchase 18mm curved bars are they 21mm? Never had the opportunity to order curved bars.
How to measure curved spring bars?
Re: How to measure curved spring bars?
I always order the same size. So it 20mm I order 20mm curved spring bars and never had an issue.
I usually just get from Amazon or eBay.

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong

Re: How to measure curved spring bars?
Typically you measure from the spring bar flange (shoulder) flange for the length. I usually recommend a 19mm spring bar for a 18mm lug watch. That way you have full engagement into the lugs and the flanges rest against the case.

18mm will be for 18mm lugs, etc. The curvature is taken into consideration. I have used twice, on a Breatling and on an old Zodiac. Cheers, G
