End Link Question

I have a 1978 1680 sub with a 9315 folded link bracelet with 380 ends that is original to the watch. I want to get a 93150 and like to know the correct ends to get. Of course I am keeping the the 9315.

Thanks in advance for the help

580 are the correct end links but they can sometimes be a bit harder to find. 501B will also do in a pinch (I have them on my 1680)

Do 501B ends not fit as well as 580?

Well that's a matter of some debate...I tried to get a definitive answer to that in this thread.

In my opinion the 501B are fine, but I haven't tried 580 to compare.

No they don't fit as well. You can find 580s here on the secondary market or just go to a AD. Mine ordered some for me ($140 or so?).
