Rolex Straight end links bracelet

[Zigoto]

Hi guys,

 

I'm trying to find a straight end links bracelet like the early rolex.

 

I think the reference is the 7205/7206 bracelet but with the straight end, does anyone know where i could find a nice replica or the straight end links ?

7205 would be 19mm ends

7206 would be 20mm ends

This is all I could find in 20mm, he probably has it in 19mm, but didn't look.

I don't know where you're going to find straight ends- they date back to the 50s. 

Gen bracelets are out of sight these days btw.

Ken has both 19 and 20mm at $39.99

Straight end links are a different matter

Thanks guys

 

I know the rivet bracelet aren't so hard to find but it's always good to have infos.

 

I'm really trying to find the straight end links , regarding few end links some of them look like they have separate part. Maybe there is a cylinder inside but i don't know which reference.

I was playing with a 7205 today- it had separate 577 end pieces- or at least that's what I found on my messy watch table, which were separate from the bracelet. If you had a 7205 (or6), maybe you could fab up a straight tube that would fit over the center ends- you'd need cut out a slot for the center link and then when you put the springbar in there, it would hold it all together. 

Originally I think the straight ends were attached to the bracelet permanently, but if you could fab up something it would be cool
