Gmt 16760 doubts oyster and jubilee

I am going to express a doubt that I have, I will explain myself as best as possible.

1 chapter

I have a gmt 16760 with oyster 78360 bracelet and endlink 501.
también tengo un Datejust 16220 con brazalete jubilee 62510H con endlink 555 B.

2 chapter

My idea is to exchange the bracelets, obviously neither of the two endlinks are compatible

To set the jubilee to GMT you would need a 502 B endlink.

and to attach the oyster to the Datejust I need the 558 B endlink.

3 chaptet

Here comes my question, I have no price problems finding the endlink 558 B, but I do have a problem with the 502 B, I found some on chrono24 and they are crazy priced.

para que encaje perfectamente el jubilee al GmT ¿hay otra alternativa al endlink 502 B?

Two options. Go aftermarket if you just want to experiment and since they are stainless not a big deal at $30 each.

Or, have patience and a set of originals will come up on EBAY at some point at a reasonable price. I was looking for some 450 J end links for my 1675/3, and yes, crazy expensive too hovering around ±$400 for a set or like $259 for one. I waited a few months and a set came up for $129. Those are on my watch now.
The end.

It's not that simple.

The 62510H on a DJ have smaller 1.8mm tubes on the half link that mates with the end links. Depending on the bracelet you either need to drill out or expand that tube so the larger 2.0mm spring bars used on the GMT will fit through and also match the 502 endlinks.

Alternatively, you need an actual GMT Jubilee which will have a 50 stamped on that last link denoting 2.0mm tubes.

I think it will be easier to find a complete bracelet or order a new one from Rolex, which I suppose they should sell, I think.
