Rolex USA can be anal about changing something on a watch that it wasn't spec'ed with, but a good watchmaker should be able to answer the question for sure. But I'd guess because the endlinks are integrated into the upper part of the bracelet, I'm guessing you'd have to get a completely new bracelet, unless you can find either new old stock or something used (unlikely, given SEL has only been around for six years on the sub).

Good luck.
Now that you mention it, I wonder if the end links only could be replaced.. As you've said it's an integrated part of the bracelet... hmmm.
The more I think about it, the more I begin to wonder if it wouldn't be best to just leave it alone. Is it bad to change it seeing as how it's not the way it was made ?
In any case, I appreciate the advice. I'll go to an AD asap to look into it.
