G4_Chrono Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Hi I have a JF16610 with drilled lugs and a 16800 matte dial. I have been using the JF SEL bracelet but would like a hollow end link bracelet. Which end links will fit the JF16610 using the shoulder less spring bars? And where to purchase from? I have seen '580' and '485B' types for use with 'fat spring bars' from WSO Alternatively, a complete bracelet with the correct end links would also be considered (but I do already have a couple of oyster bracelets I can use) I appreciate your help. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 correct ends for a 16610 are 501Bs and 593s are correct for the 16800 and 168000. WSO might carry aftermarket 501Bs- can't remember. Correct bracelet is the 93150, but they're tough to find these days. Any hollow mid link oyster bracelet with the flip lock clasp would work and probably a set of 580 end pieces would also- they're not too hard to find.

As the case is a '16610' I suspect that the 593 would not fit? Is there a difference between 501B and 580? Both are available from WSO (or at least stamped as '501B' or '580') . . If one is designed to be overall a smaller piece then that would be my preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 My guess is that all three end pieces are very similar- I've seen situations where they were mis-matched with cases and it really looked ok. Certainly the differences between the 16800/0 cases and the 16610 are minor- they have the same crystal/bezel assemblies and crown/tubes. Stem positions on the cases vary due to the movements, but that's about it. Oh, I do remember the casebacks are different and not interchangeable, but who can say why- just one of Rolexes idiosyncrasies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G4_Chrono Posted August 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Thanks. 501B end links ordered. I will update here how successful they are. I think I have a 16800 stamped case back on my JF16610 case . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I recall, a 16800 caseback will say 16800. early 16610 will say 16610 and a 16610T will say 2160 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pompompurin Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 by the way, Raffles 501b is highly recommended by me. I have them on my Startime 3035 16800 superfranken http://rafflesdials.com/one-pair-of-501b-steel-all-brushed-20mm-end-pieces-for-vintage-rolex-explorer-36mm-oyster-watch-band-bracelet-and-fat-spring-bars-in-2-0mm/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
