So I have a gen 6426 Oyster Precision from 1959 that's gonna be a gift. I need proper end links. I've tried some from eBay that supposedly fit Air King 1500, but they're too short, notice the gap in the picture. Then I noticed an eBay seller with bracelets for sale pointing out his bracelets wouldn't fit pre-70s watches as the end links were different. So, this watch being from 1959, is that the case? Where can I get aftermarket parts that doesn't have this gap?
I googled some, and some say go with 57 or 60 end links on 7205 bracelet, others 557 end links on 78350 bracelet for the ref. 6426. The latter seems to be correct according to this chart, thought I don't know when this is from: http://img-2013.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/11/baryhe9e.jpg
I don't really care about what's historically correct, I just want a nice Oyster bracelet and end links without this gap. Suggestions?
Looking at the 60 end links here, they look a lot longer and gap less. But I'd prefer an aftermarket version: http://anonym.to?http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=366883
