brendo22 Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Just curious if anyone knows of a source for aftermarket 580 endlinks that take 2mm bars? I am doubting it, but I thought Id try. Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot recommend anyone to buy anything from him; besides, those 580's look nothing like gen. As far as I know, no one makes rep 580's that have the proper 2mm diameter tubes for gen springbars. The easier option is to find rep 580's and grind off the smaller tubes so the gen springbars will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmj Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 You can try DW too. He's just ordered some and will have them in a week or 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJo, Your right, I never dealt with him, although a lot of folks here seem to have had pretty bad dealings with him in the past. I wasn't recommending him, just saw those on ebay and passed along the link. Looking at the photo on his website, they didn't look like the ones on my Tudor Sub. Mine came from Steve Mulholland for 50 bucks, but I bought a 93150 Bracelet as well. It's too bad some of the rep makers can't make a 580 with tubes big enough to get a genuine spring bar through. As many vintage Rolex watches that use the 580, it looks like they could sell enough to make it worth while to produce some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 wholesaleoutlet/watchbandman50 is a terrible vendor. Made the mistake of dealing with them some years ago... Never again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendo22 Posted March 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Thanks guys! Yeah, those 580 ends on ebay just don't look right to me but thanks for the info! And it sounds like DW is the way to go? How do you get a hold of him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Keep surfing the gen forums. I found a pair of NOS 580 in the German Rolex forum for 85 euro's. The are on my 1680 now and improve the look and feel of the watch. Carpe Diem Cats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
