58 and 80 Endlinks

[bertieng]

Seen both types of endlinks exist on the 20mm rivet bands, what is their difference?

Can they both fit onto the vintage Rolex say Milgauss 6541 or 6536?

Experts please chim in.

Thanks.

The difference has to do with the shape & degree of bend to allow the same bracelet to mate with different cases. I have a picture somewhere in 1 of my hard drive Rolex archives that shows a number of vintage end links, but the file may not have a descriptive name so I may not be able to locate it. But I will take a look & post it here if I find it.

Thanks.

So what should be the correct endlinks for 6541 and 6538?

Any idea?

One of my bracelet charts, http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v222/exs...aceletchart.jpg, shows a 7205 bracelet on a 6536 with 58 end pieces, 7206 on a 5508 w/ 58 ends. It lists 7206 for 5512/5513 with 80 end pieces (early). Later 5512/3's would have the 9315 with 280 and 380 end pieces and finally the 93150 with 580 ends.
