Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 @fredd Looks like they fitt the case poor! Should the endlinks looks like that from the side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gran Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Nice one Gran!! Too bad about the strap though..... Thanks! but I knew it was pretty tight when I bought it..missing 4mm of strap....so have to make into a gift or get another strap (and that will not be easy on this one given the special lug design) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy333 Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 @fredd Looks like they fitt the case poor! Should the endlinks looks like that from the side? Yes, you are correct that the end links do not fit the case (which came from Phong) perfectly. The end links did fit my old MBW case perfectly, but, unfortunately, the 1570 movement did not fit perfectly in the MBW case, which is why I replaced it with Phong's case. I could probably reshape the end links to reduce some of the slack, but, then, they might not fit onto my 1665 as well. In any case, the watch/bracelet looks ok on my wrist & the slight looseness (which is somewhat common to many vintage Rolex bracelets, especially as they wear & stretch) does not bother me enough to want to modify them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 I see, thought it looked funky. But im sure there are better aftermarket end links that would fitt better right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 9315 end links are permanently attached & I would not deform or modify a gen bracelet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 I have never understood the end link obsession on vintage watches. All the gens I have ever had had totally mashed up end links and they were the ones worth the most as they were untouched (never fixed).

freddy333 Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 All the gens I have ever had had totally mashed up end links and they were the ones worth the most as they were untouched (never fixed). The reason the end links are mashed-up is because the bracelet is a franken. The seller (or a previous owner) took a relatively common Rolex bracelet & swapped the end links from another watch to form a bracelet for a more popular (expensive) watch. Until recently, when vintage Rolex values began to skyrocket due to the Web, you never saw damaged/bent/scratched end links or hinges (where permanently affixed end links attach to the bracelet). These days, it is rare NOT to see damaged hinges, because nearly every bracelet designed to fit a popular (expensive) vintage Rolex has been monkeyed with. You can see it here with the gen 9315/380 on my pre-Comex Under normal circumstances, there these hinges should be the least damaged part on a bracelet. Yet, these days, it is common to see a pristine bracelet with mangled hinges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
