Aftermarket End Links (501b)

Hello folks,

Is there a way to tell genuine Rolex from aftermarket end links?

My AD is asking USD 135 for a pair of 501b end links for my 78360.

If these are "genuine" Rolex end links, it feels suspiciously inexpensive (ebay indicates the going rate, used is >$200).

I know "after market" ones can be had for about $25.

I'd hate to get gouged $100 for some Made in China end links, thinking they're legit... I've asked them to confirm these are genuine Rolex and am waiting to hear a response.

Think I should trust them and just go for it?

What would the pros here do?

Thanks

$135 is the current price for those endlinks from a US AD. Enjoy!

I've got a set of original 501B's that were on my 1016 by mistake.

PM me if you want a decent deal.

They will fit but 580 end links will fit better.

Your AD is quoting you the correct price, approx $135.
