·Been meaning to share this for a while. For those of you who are struggling to find decent fitting end links for a 5 row BoR on a dog leg Connie. I never felt any of the 11/511 end links fit well. The 7 row BoR’s always fit better with the stock end links (although I can’t remember what number they are) however if you’re anything like me I much prefer the 5 row.
I stumbled across uncle seiko’s Beads of rice bracelet for the dog leg constellation but dismissed it - I already had a genuine omega beads of rice so why would I opt for an aftermarket one. What I did notice though was how well fitting the end links were in the photos.
A bit of searching on uncle seikos site and I found you can buy end links separately! Long story short I ordered a couple and here are the results.
Still kept my genuine end links incase I ever sell the watch but for everyday wear these look so much better!
Fit is so close to the case, not rattle, no movement, no gaps.
Only thing I did notice was usually to stop genuine end links moving about I use thicker 1.8mm spring bars, whereas for this I actually had to use slimmer 1.5mm bars.
