455 endlinks in 19mm

[Rollied]

Hey guys, as the title stated, can 455 endlinks come in 19mm? The reason I’m asking is because the fitment on the lugs show some space. I’ve always thought 455 endlinks are for 20mm lugs. Any ideas on the poor fitment? Age?

if they are fake 455 end links they will be in 19mm or 20mm unfortunately

Is there a way to tell? I know the bracelet there’s a way to tell. The gold center links on the gen bracelet is different.

Are you the original owner of the watch, do you know the service history?

Ive seen the inside of lugs get polished to fix dings which removes material and could cause a gap.

Unfortunately I am not the original owner and do not know its service history. However, did Rolex make 455 endlinks in 19mm? It seems counterproductive for me if they made some 455 endlinks for 20mm AND 19mm lug width.

455 only came in 20mm.

Yes. If it says 455 and they are TT, they are 20mm endlinks. If they are 19mm or SS, they will have a different number.
