Aftermarket Oyster Links

anyone ever have one of these fail? they're about $10 on the bay but appear to do the job based on buyer comments...

its not bored through on both sides like an oem rolex link. its just one side open for the crew-in linkpins while not exposed on the other end.

thanks in advance on feedback.

No way would I use an aftermarket link. An aftermarket insert is one thing, but an aftermarket link could spell disaster.

There is a reason they cost $10.00.

That is why I would never consider purchasing.

Just because they look like a Rolex link doesn't mean they will fit your bracelet properly.

You can also find used genuine Rolex links on ebay; I think you'd be much better off going with one of them...
