Are there different sizes of 1175 bracelets? #676 endlinks don’t fit

This is slightly odd, but maybe I’m not alone with this. I have a 166.0128 that I wanted to try on a bracelet. The list suggests 1171 or 1175 with #676 endlinks:

So I bought a pair of #676 from a fellow user here and wanted to try how they fit. The work great on the 1171. However, on the 1175:

Basically, the opening in the #676s is at least 1mm too small for the center link or the 1175. There’s nothing bent out of shape, it’s just how the parts are made. I’ve searched around of course and found other examples where 1175/676 was a working combination…

Any idea what I’m missing? Thanks for any input!

Guess there must be different 676’s then.

There is precedent as some of the novolink 1171’s require special 633 Endlinks as the middle section of the terminal link is wider than that of a standard 1171. Same as you’ve found here with the 1175 vs 1171

Thank you, makes sense. Also, it's annoying, but it is what it is. At least I also have a non-novolink 1171 here I can also wear it on...

It’d be worth checking as to complicate matters, only some of the novolink 1171’s have wider centre pieces. I have one which has the exact same dimensions as a normal 1171 and takes standard 633’s.

Yeah, I already tried, my 1171 works fine on the 676s. Thanks for the input David!
