What is a correct spare link for 78790A bracelet?
Watch: 16710 Coke (F serial), bracelet 78790A.
In my quest to find a spare link on ebay (the 'genuine' listings) or on this forum, what link should I be looking for? hollow center, yes, but seems like the hollow centers have variety of fixed or sliding center types?? Also some listings show 14.5 mm vs. 15 mm vs one that measured 16.4mm?? I do have a solid center link from my wife's Exp 1 that I can use, but I like to get the link that is correct for that bracelet. Also, I searched and know how to tell the difference between genuine or aftermarket screws (genuine has tapered machined shoulders before threads start), but how about the links themselves? Thank you. Here is a picture of my bracelet: And here is the picture found in one of the older threads regarding genuine screws:

Buy it from an AD for ~75 is my advice.

That sure is the best approach.
Last time I ordered a two tone link (for my 16613LB) from my AD took a long while and cost close to $250 all said and done. I see lots of good examples on ebay and here and there, and given I don't 'need' a new link, I am thinking I may be able to find a good example elsewhere. Just need the info to know what to look for.
