501B fitting question

Hello everyone !

First question : Do you wear your end links flush to the lugs or recessed ?

Second question : Something bugs me on my 14060 and look odd.
I can see the crease of the top center link (looking like a camel back from the side) which presses on the inner side the endlink on both sides. It looked to me that this crease should be masked.
Is my end link used or punched too wide ?

Thanks !

I think this thread would benefit from some good photos.

.
Take off the bracelet where the center link looks like a camel's back and flip it 180 degrees to see if it is diferent or look in the underside of the bracelet without removing...
It may just be backwards..

Or just take a picture of the other side to see what is going on (bent or ?)..

I guess both the center link and the endlink are used and carved in a way the ridge can be seen through the endlink...
No surprise for a 20+ years old bracelet.
