16518 Solid Gold Bracelet Model Number(s)

I've been seeing a few strap models for sale that have bracelets fitted. What bracelet model numbers and endlinks should I look for?

I believe that the 16518's case design only allowed for the fitment of the gold end link; very rounded.

Are you sure you weren't just looking at 16528s?

It would be a bit of a nightmare to convert a 16528 bracelet to fit a 518.

I see what you are saying but most gold bracelets have the endlinks.

I've actually seen a few 16518's watches fitted with gold bracelet from Rolex AD before the practice was verboten, they look exactly like the full gold versions.

I guess I should ask what bracelet fits on the 5 digit gold Daytona?
