i just ordered a knockoff easy link via ebay. it will come in the mail shortly. I have a 58 and an 16570 explorer 2 that i'd like to make an EZ link solution work for... I'm pretty confident that i'll be able to make it work for one, but not the other.
I have seen one guy use a genuine Rolex EZ link on the 58, but it looked like he had to file down the inside of the rolex ez link to make it fit. The center link on the 58 is wider than the rolex center link.
I love how your option 1 looks, but for the cost it would take to make that happen? there's gotta be a better way. Also, if I'm looking correctly, on your option 1 pic, you can see how the the center link of the rolex bracelet is slightly smaller than the endlink space on the 58 endlinks.
Love to hear if any people have thought of any other options for the 58!

I want to get a BB58 and was curious about fitting an ez link to the bracelet, and saw someone selling one (WUS forum username: Evinsky) with an ez link so I wrote him about it and this is what he answered:
"Well, getting a hold of an ezlink in the first place is going to be challenging. Rolex ADs will only order one for you if you own a Rolex that comes with one. I lost the one to my Batman GMT so I ordered a replacement. Then I actually found it so I had the spare. 2nd the width of the Tudor link is too large so you have to very carefully hone the sides down. I use some very fine 2000 grit knife sharpening stones. Lastly you need to drill out the hole in the link to fit the larger springbar of the EZLink. I used a series of small incriment wire gauge drill bits with cutting oil. It’s really only something you should try if you have some mechanical expertiese or jewling experience."
I hope this help.
