9315 Endlinks: 285 vs 280 an even swap?

Hello amigos,

At some point in history, someone put 285 (DRSD) endlinks on my 9315 folded bracelet for my 1680. I'd like to get the proper 280s and was wondering if that would be a fair swap. It's hard to source prices on these since they're not easily available. But it does seem that 285s are rarer and are commanding a high price. I'm just not sure if 280s are trading at the same price and don't want to regret not selling the 285s and just buying 280s for cheaper.

Any advice is welcome.

285s are for thin case DRSD. Rare. The only issue is there aren't that many thin cases around either...

Find a great set of 280s and buy them. Then list your 285s for sale separately. Use old listings for pricing.

My thin case with 285s

I have my DRSD on a brand new 93150 with 585s.

My 9315 will be sent to M. Youg with fixed 380 end links.

Am i correct? Or should I source a couple of 280s?

Thanks all!
