Hi all,

I'm about to pay way too much for this single 516 end link to begin the restoration of my 145.012-67. I know these are hard to come by, so I do not want to miss the opportunity but I don't want to buy a fake either.

I know there are reproductions that come out of Italy, and from my research this end link is genuine.

Thank you in advance.

You are going to pay too much either way since this end link has been filed down and is no longer 20mm

Thank you. I was wondering why the seller had 19.5mm in the description.

No description needed. It is clearly visible.
I think the seller is very optimistic with that 19.5...

Thanks all. Would appreciate if anyone could point me in the right direction regarding sourcing a single end link.

Finding one is likely to be difficult. I would just keep my eyes open and look in the various forums whenever someone offers a bracelet with endlinks. Sometimes this person also sell the band and endlinks separately.

But I also think I saw someone selling 516 endlinks somewhere a few days ago. Give me a moment I'll look again to see if I can find the thread.

E: Hm maybe it wasn't a thread after all but an auction on eBay 😕

Anyway... what’s about this one? Iam not an expert on those endlinks, but in my eyes it is looking genuine... unfortunately also very polished.

On a positive note, though, it is a molested, but original end link. 😉
