Source for end links - Ref 55

I purchased a 1603 recently and one of the "55" end links had been replaced by a "045" and sits way too high. Anyone have any good info on sourcing a replacement 55 link? I can't seem to find any online.

I have an oyster band on there now, but want to get it back OEM. So far loving the watch...simple but very nice.

I believe 55 end links are for a Jubilee bracelet. 502 or 502B will work on your watch and probably 555 end links will too. You should be able to find them at a dealer for much less than the secondary market.
