Can someone point me to the correct endlinks for my 1171 vintage bracelet? It has the 633 endlinks.
I am having a hard time finding the correct ones. Mine need to be replaced as one is out of shape and clanks everytime i move my wrist.

Link below is the endlink page. Correct part number would be much appreciated

They do not have the vintage 633 end links any more. They might only have the new larger 633 ones sold together with the new 1171 bracelet.

 

The part number is 026ST633 end links. the last ones I got were from abouttime-ch (formerly Watchco) now in Auckland, New Zealand. There are some from Switzerland on the bay right now.

The 633 end links on eBay right now from Switzerland are the new ones I was referring to in my post above. They are not the vintage end links from the 70's if that is what the OP is searching for.

 

Doesn't have to be vintage, nos is fine
Thank you very much

 

I think the last pair of vintage 633's sold for over $200. I did not realize that the new ones are larger. In case the OP does not know, the vintage are stamped with 633 facing the band and the new ones are etched with 633 facing the watch.

 

the modern ones also have an extra cut out on the back side.

 

Which watch?

They'll fit the Speedmaster but not the Seamaster 300.

That's good to know - that means that the ones on my ebay gamble that is arriving today are actual vintage ones. I figured they were from the look of the stamping, but then I was reading about how there were modern forgeries made with the 633 stamped as well, but those don't look like the ones arriving on my watch.

 

Yes those are the vintage end links right there.

 

Al, you can, I'm sure, make anything fit anything else. The 633 links as they come do not fit the 165.0324 (I think) case very well and much fitting has to happen. One of the reasons I decided on the 1610 with 840 end links for my Seamaster 300 bracelet.

Takes just a few minutes with a file mate - not a big deal at all if you have any manual skills. Doesn't need a trained watchmaker to make these work.

 

I got it to work, and without filing too, but I just couldn't keep them from gapping on the sides.

Never had them come too narrow - are you sure they were genuine?

 

Speedmaster 145.022-69

 

Is this the correct endlink for my Speedy 145.022-69 with the 1171 bracelet?

 

these would work.. these are the modern ones..

Yeah, I don't think Otto Frei sells fakes.

Could be I was just doing it wrong. I was trying to curve those edges down and instead I perhaps should have tried to flatten them, instead.

Moot point, anyways; they fit the Speedmaster out of the box, and I am using a 1610/840 combination on the Seamaster 300 instead of the 1171/633 combination.

If your experience is like mine, they will fit without adjustment.
