The upper End Links are Service parts from Omega.
Okay, you mean those on the transparent back of my first photo?

Good morning OF, I have a question about this bracelet; I have 2 bracelets with 2 different clasps and 2 different endlinks...
Maybe one of those are fake... (Or both!... I hope not...) .. In fact I look for info about the production dates of the #11 and #30 clasp, to see which one would be the best for my 145.012. And also, would like to know which endlinks fits with the right clasp... Because they are all marked 575 but look really very different... If you have opinions about that, don't hesitate!
Thanks a lot.

From these photos it looks like the 30 is using the older Omega logo with the narrow feet. That's probably a clue in itself as to the age. 11 is used all through the 70's where as 30 isn't seen on bracelets after about 71, eg the 1171 trapzoid from about 1971 onwards is usually always on an 11.

I think the circle 30 is the earlier, with its pre-69 omega logo and simpler friction coming only from the two top edges of the clasp.

Okay, thanks @Dms5150, I use it now with a 145.022-69 from 1971, so I should have kept the 30!...😲😲😲
