End Pieces for No Hole Explorer II
I'm looking to put an older 78360 bracelet on my Explorer II. Don't really like the newer style bracelet on it, and it will be used as a beater for work. Which end pieces will work with this bracelet and be easy to remove from the no holes case?

I've tried the nato, bund style band, etc. but really didn't like them on this style of watch. I do prefer the older style oyster bracelets (78360 for example), and think that it would look better. I just needed the end pieces so that I could get it on and off the case! Already had a mini disaster trying on the 558 endpieces!

You will want 501 endlinks for a 78360 Oyster bracelet... (502T's are for the Jubilee)

Tools, the 501s will work with the no hole lugs, correct?

Well, I don't have any 501's in my hand.. but the 501B's I have do not have the slot in the back...
You do want to be careful as they are hard to get off without the slot.. Put your own in with a Dremel if you must... but do it before you put them on.....

My explorer 1 has the same bracelet - 78360 - non flip lock bracelet.
The end pieces are 558B ... but that is for a lug holes case. |

That is why I prefer the the 78360, no flip lock! In my opinion, this bracelet looks better as a beater. I also put this model bracelet on my '78 1016 Explorer.
