·I know that they work with Geneve references like 166.070. Anything else that comes to mind?
630 endlinks on a 1035: what are they good for?

·I've used them on 168.005/167.005 and 14381/14393 Constellations. They look especially good on the latter, IMO.

Thank you! I will try it on my 14381, which is currently on a BoR. 👍

·Interestingly, the lug width on my 14381 is under 18mm, and I don't know if I want to file down the endlinks. I'll ponder that a bit.
Funny, same here for my two 14381s and I figured it might have been just a coincidence. However, if you make the endlinks fit, they do sit just great:

·Just to revisit this question, I have a 1035/30 that originally came on a SM600 (136.011). This came from the original owner, the watch originally came with this bracelet and it fit very well.
I assumed the 630’s would also fit but didn’t have a pair to compare to until now. As you would expect (E.g. with the No.6 vs 506 Endlinks) the 630’s appear to be a straight continuation of the 30’s and although it’s not listed on the bracelet charts, I’m confident both the 30’s and the 630’s will fit SM600 refs 135.011 and 136.011

I wish I could use my 1035/630 on a 14381, the end links fit between the lugs, but the end links are a tad shorter than the lugs and the last link of the bracelet is slightly broader (only on one side interestingly) than the lug width, so if I force fit it, the bracelet just hangs there twisted as there is pressure between the tips of the lugs and last link of the bracelet. Did you guys file down the sides of the last link so it fits in between the lugs?

·I haven’t - never done that. But I’m not surprised there are small differences between different bracelets of the same reference. Also, have you measured the actual width of the lugs on your watch? Might be bent slightly out of shape.

Yep, that's it. The upper lugs are narrower by 0.1-0.15mm. Enough for the bracelet link not to fit in between. Bummer.

·Pretty easy fix then, ask your watchmaker to widen them. Such a small amount of correction is relatively easily done.

·I finally got around to filing down the endlinks for the 14381.
