I have an opportunity to purchase a decent 7206 Rivet Bracelet for my MF Sub. Unfortunately, it's fitted with "58" end links.

Been searching the interweb to confirm if 58 EL's will work on a 5513 sub, however have been unable to find a definitive answer.

Anyone here every tried this configuration?

I had 58s on my 5508 small crown and my 62 gilt gmt.

Depending on the bracelet, it should have 80, 280, 380, or 580 endlinks.

Will they work? Sure. Will they sit differently? Yes.

I'd wait to find a 7206 with 80 end-links...

I have a 7206 with 80 ends that I would swap for a 7206 with 58 ends.

This is why I love this forum.

The 58 end links aren't original for a 5513, but they will fit ok IMO.

I took your advice and passed on the 7206/58 with the hopes of finding a period correct 7206/80.

It didn't take a week and the perfect date code came up (4/67)

There's some damage on the clasp and was wondering what the best practice is to have it repaired?

Regarding the crack on your clasp, any competent jeweler with a laser welder should be able to repair the crack for a minimal expense.
