Help with a noobie issue ! Don't laugh !

So I know I'm gonna get some stick for this but it's doing my head in so here goes   

 

As most of you probably know I have a Tudor Snowy date that we think is a Phong case set (pic below) the piece came with a mix of Gen/Rep 7836 bracelet and 382 end links and the fit is perfect albeit no way near big enough for my 7.5 inch wrist, so no biggie I thought I'll put a Gen clasp and 93150 bracelet on it and all good............not happening atm    I can't seem to get the 580 end links to fit properly !! I'm not sure if I even have the right end link (should it be 380) or if it's not fitting up for another reason 

 

 

Been giving it a go on and off for a couple weeks and yes I feel such a knob cause I can't fit up a bracelet properly......honestly it's the first time it's happened    

 

Should I be getting some 380 or what maybe 501 instead ? Just don't want to keep ordering loads of the bloody things  

 

If you can help would be greatly appreciated    desperate to wear this on a bracelet !

280/9315

580/93150

 

380 Might Be Right.....  501 might be too narrow as it is for a GMT/ExplorerII Case.

 

Finally, the lug holes might simply be drilled a hair off and that is the root problem.

If the 580's won't fit and they will fit gen spring bars, i 'll take them off your hands for what you paid for them.

Cheers guys I'll order some 380 I think then and try them if not back to the drawing board 

 

@ pan - I got a couple sets of them from WSO and they do take Gen bars, if you need a set let me know and I'll get them to you !

I had a gen 1967 tudor with the original gen bracelet, the fit was horrible by today's standard. I think spiedel was still making the bracelets for those watches.
