Rolex Vintage End-Links authenticity challenge
I' love to learn. I know a little, but could use any help from more experienced enthusiasts.
I'm on the fence about a few of these end-links. I started opening up old Rolex band parts boxes, and need some help determining if a few of these are original Rolex or not. My thoughts: First pair: Looks vintage, but does not look like it has Rolex printing. Second pair: Top looks legit, bottom looks like a lesser quality stamp. Single: Looks good to me. What are your guys opinions? |

Only two endlinks in your pic are real.
The first pair on the left is fake The second pair on the right is half fake (top legit) The bottom single is legit Cheers |

The bottom single one is missing the cutouts on the sides, is that correct for a "B" end link fitting?
The top right one has a strange looking square hole, looks like someone made it larger? The other three are fake in my opinion. I am not sure about the other two. |

The square hole looks due to wearing out. |
