I have been wearing the 1016 all weekend and it's a complete gem. One observation / question though that I wanted to ask about was that the 580 end links (like the band) are brand new and I needed a fair amount of muscle to get the pin into the lug holes. The upshot is that like the photo of Snoodle's watch, the outer ends of the 580 end link are sitting higher than the shoulders, and the leading edge of the 580 is pushed up very hard against the rehout.

If I close the 'c' shape of the end link, I will in effect move the pin alignment hole further away, thereby making the fitment even tighter.

Has anybody else had this issue, and what is the way the solve it such that the 580 end link sits more flush with the lugs?
