Big Case Oyster Precision 6424 End Links/Bracelet?

Hey all,

So I just recently picked up a beautiful 36mm 6424 with the 20mm lugs, and I'd eventually like to pick up a bracelet and set of end links to go along with it. The problem is, this is the rare case without the lug holes drilled all the way through, which would mean my end links need to accommodate a tool to remove the spring bar if I were to change the bracelet.

What end links belong with this model for the Oyster and/or Jubilee bracelet? Did it come in a jubilee for its period?

Also, having asked THAT, what bracelet is appropriate for this girl?

Lastly, opinions on the pickup are always welcome -- good or bad. :-)

Thanks! Here's a pic for good measure:

Agree, 75 end links for a riveted Oyster bracelet (mine is a 6636, currently having some TLC by Michael Young). These have a little space/notch in the back for a spring bar tool. I suspect these aren't that easy to find -- good luck! Mine are fixed end links.

That's a handy chart. Well, it does list the #75 end links as specific for this model. Whether the 7206 or 6636, probably customer's choice I guess.

I agree Adam those were the days you had a choice with Rolex, good old days I say, r20 service manual printed by rolex for technicians working for rolex has every model ever made and all details a great book, seals, glasses, bands, clasps, crown tubes, bezels and inserts etc. every case part number etc. it is an internal Rolex document very detailed.
