1977 1625 thunderbird end links on a oyster band?

I have a 1977 1625 and was wondering what are the correct end links for a oyster SS band? Would it be a pair of 558's?

Thanks,
MLC

If it is an older 7836 band then 258 or 358. If it is a newer 78360 then yes, it is 558.

I have both for my 1625.

Do you have any pictures of it? Here's mine, first picture on 7836, second on 78360, I prefer the 7836 for it's comfort:

One of them are fixed(permanently attached) to the bracelet, the other are removable.

I always mix up which of the 2xx and 3xx series end links that is fixed, so just google that detail. It is the same for 280/380 end links for the Submariner and GMT-master.
