78350 Bracelet Question

Hello TRF Friends,

I have a Rolex 78350 19 Bracelet and wanted to know which end links that I would need in order to make it fit on a Red Sub or Sub 5508. Thanks in advance for your help and guidance.

Its a 19mm bracelet. Sub lugs are 20mm no?

I don't know any end pieces that'll work for you

I think you need a 93150 20mm bracelet with 580 or 501 ends, to the best of my knowledge the 78350 is for DJs and Daytonas

78350 19 is for 34mm with 19mm lugs. The DJ has 20mm lugs

So the 19mm bracelet can't be fitted to 20mm lugs with say 580 end links. I was told that 580's will work, but I don' have them to try.

Oh it'll fit, you'll just have a gap where the last link of the bracelet connects to the spring bar. It'll jiggle and rattle

I don't want it to rattle and jiggle. Oh well I guess it won't work on the subs.

The 20mm end links can fit on the 19mm bracelet; however not the other way around.

The 19mm bracelet has a narrower mid link, which is the bit that goes into the end link.

So, as stated, there will be small gaps on either side of the mid link where it goes into an end link with an opening wider than the mid link.

I hope that made sense...
