    One for the experts.
    I am thinking of putting Jubilee 62510H on a 74 DRSD.
    Can anyone tell me the correct end link or the closest that I can " finesse" ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Im guessing a 55 end link or possibly a 550

    Thank you.
    I have tried genuine 550's and they need to be opened up which I was reluctant to do.
    So I will try some tweaked after market 550's , if it goes bad no biggy.

    I tweaked a pair of 550's, and well they fit but the contour is not right. They also dont quite reach the case, so they move slightly pivoting on the springbar.
    So it looks like this doesn't a work. I am interested to hear if anybody has had some success maybe with another end link.

    I think the correct (modern) end links for a 1655 are 580 or I believe 585’s fit better.
    550’s are not correct.

    Correct for an Oyster, I was trying to fit a jubilee.

    The 1665 case, and ends are fatter than any other oyster case so I don’t think other ends will look or fit right.

    Correct, even with judicious reprofiling ie opening up the links, the curvature radius wasn't right and they didn't reach the case at the dial curve.
    Compared to the Oyster bracelet it just doesn't work.
