I'm in the UK, London, and I send my watches too SSTEEL in finland, it costs just over £10 now to send, and only takes a few days to arrive.
He is very welcoming and will put your mind & ease trust me. Maybe give him a PM.

Surely if he is now threatening you he should get the boot from here too. I know it's personal emails but we shouldn't tolerate any kind threatening behaviour from board members on or off the board.

Yes very interesting, they seem to be hard to find. I've given a local dealer am offer who has some . Let's see what he says.
If anything, would be a great bit of info for the community !!
I understand your point, but this is a community and it's about sharing your PERSONAL opinions, good & bad.
Just because you had a good experience with the OP, doesn't mean he's all straight and others have had the same experience with you.

Hmmm ok.
"58 and 80 are very similar 58 is 0,5mm bigger in width,
the main difference is located at the back of the fitting,
the 'ears' of the 80 are larger and located lower than on
the 58"
I found this on network54. Not sure how legit the author is. But it would for sure give me the extra 0.5 I'm looking for.

Thanks nanuq, very interesting. Can anybody confirm that the 58 endlinka are 0.5mm wider and have a different shape compared to the 80's??

Think it's the answer ?

Yep, defo does not look nothing like that. What are your end links? 80 or 58? Literature states 6538 used. 58 and Gmt 6542 used 80 which is what's on mine.
Could this be the issue?

The Gen 7206 is swiss but it's from MQ so you never know if he's put swiss or American end links on it.
Cc33, would you be able to measure you lugs gap, and or yor end links.
The watch is off to SSTEEL for some other work so I do not have any pics right now. Just measurements.

Hello all, bit of a situation. The gap between my end links and watch lugs is unbearable IMO.
The case is a 6538 from Mq.
The bracelet is a gen swiss 7206 rivet. Here is the issue:
Space between both lugs : 20.34mm
Width of gen end links 19.84mm (probably was 20mm 50 years ago.)
Now, can Anybody please shed any light on the width of yukis etc or any other rep "80" end links or and equally importantly, has anybody got any? I would be willing to swap for my Gen set.
Just after a tight fitment got my case.
Thanks guys........
