Hello, I'm looking for some info on an old Seamaster and the correct bracelet end pieces. I found my Dad's old manual wind Seamaster (early sixties?) when cleaning out his house. Runs great. I'm trying to get a beads of rice bracelet I recently bought onto the watch. Can anyone offer info if the correct bracelet end pieces for a 1502 beads of rice bracelet will fit this watch? The bracelet has number 11 end pieces. I'm having difficulty getting the spring bars in. If number 11 end pieces aren't correct can anyone tell me which are correct? Any info appreciated. Thanks!

You could try #12s, but usually these watches would be paired with a 7-row BOR rather than a 5-row like yours. Maybe others have gotten 5-rows to fit and can share guidance..

Thanks Dan. Actually I am trying to fit a seven row BOR bracelet.

1502 is a 5-row bracelet and #11s are 5-row endlinks... do you already have the bracelet and searching for endlinks? Can you send photos?

Hi seekingseaquest, yes, photos attached. When a bracelet is referred to as 5 row is that just the "rice" rows? If so, yes, I have a five row. Which I guess will lead me to the question, what bracelet is period correct for this watch? Is there a 7 row bracelet number I should be looking for? Thanks much.

I call that a 5 row, based on the number of beads. But others may call it 7-row..

Anyway, the more period correct one and the one that fits this watch better in my opinion, is a 7-row reference 1503 or 1037. There may be other references too. I think the endlinks should be 70 or 570 but worth confirmation from others on this.
