    My 1125 bracelet arrived but the end links have no identification, numbers, etc
    How can I tell the difference between 560 & 617 end links by looking at them?
    Thanks

    I happened to sit and compare the 560 and the 617 the other day. 560 has a cut up in the piece, where the bracelet fits in, while the 617 hasn't that cut, they are straight in the bottom, where the end of the bracelet comes in, in the end piece.

    Don't know if that made any sense, but the 560 piece looks more like the 516 piece, but not with so deep cut that 516 has, where the bracelet fits in.

    Both 560 and 617 are 19 mm and are both also stamped with the ref.no

    Sorry to bump this. I’ve done a lot if googling and searching of the forums and can’t really find a direct comparison of the 560 and 617, with pictures anyway. Am I correct the 617 is a little longer but the 560 is easier to install? If anyone had a side by side comparison that would be lovely - excuse my ignorance for not understanding previous/other posts or missing something glaringly obvious. Also, people’s preference for one over the other - talking 1125 on the FOIS here (looking to buy the watch in the coming week - exciting times). Cheers.

    That’s great thank you. Turns out I had read that thread but had obviously forgotten the important part - I think it’s where the inspiration came from in the first place!
