Hello,

I decided to restore my dad's Rolex Submariner 5508.
I'm currently focused on the bracelet. It's a 1968 riveted 7206 with "80" endlinks (my dad broke the bracelet at that time and it was replaced by Rolex).

I have read that the 5508 should have "58" endlinks as show on this chart : http://smg.photobucket.com/user/exsh...chart.jpg.html
But some says 5508 Submariner should have "80" endlinks.

As one of the endlinks on the bracelet is broken, it's the opportunity to replace them with the good ones.
What should I do ? Buy one "80" endlink or buy two "58" endlinks ?
I'm just trying to figure out which are the right endlinks for this watch...

(I recently bought a tropic 16 (T16) and will be on the watch sooner or later)

Thank you.
