HELP Speedmaster Professional 1965 endlinks

[Gabriel_1506]

Hello,

I have a Speedmaster Professional Cal. 321 1965 with only one bracelet end link.
The bracelet reference is 1506 and its end link is 16, but it's impossible to find it.
I've seen that end links with references 516 and 640 are similar.
In fact, in the following link, I saw a bracelet 1506 with one end link 16 and another 640.

Does anyone know if these end links might fit well and which one would be the best?
Thank you very much.

640 just doesn’t cut the mustard for me.

Thanks for your response, and what do you think about 516?

516 is the slightly later version of the 16 and so will work with a 1506 and a Speedmaster Pro case. However, 516's are only marginally easier to find that 16's and are still very expensive.

If you can’t find a 16, finding a single 516 would work. Single 516’s pop up on eBay every so often. I just sold one I had been holding onto on ebay a few weeks ago. However, they are almost always still relatively expensive. I saw a few sell in the $300-500 range.

Perfect, thank you very much for your response. I've seen 2 end links for $650. They aren't cheap but I think I'll buy them

If you can pick up a pair of 516s reasonably then sell your single 16 it might not hurt too bad.

Thanks for your response, I think that I pick up a 516 and keep the other original 16
