other set:

will both fit the same? whats the difference between 455 and 455 b?

Answered your own question didn't you.. ???

One set is for bracelets with through lug holes and the 455B's are for blind lug-hole models..

If you put the wrong set on a blind-hole model, you can't get them back off without drilling the back

But i also have a set of 455B without the cut outs for spring bars ?? Thanks

The 455 stamp is the most replicated of all the endlink stamping.. perhaps you have some that are not authentic..

(I incorrectly implied that all 455B's had the cut-out; I was just referring to your photos - the B is a later version and may come either way)

I've found non-Rolex bracelets can be known to stamp 455 into their end links too.

These links appear to be fake...no AAA stamped on original Rolex end links.

Do end links pop up for sale much on here? I'm fairly new to the site

Ideally require 455 without the cut outs in bi metal 18k 20mm for a date just

Check the Rolex Watch Accessories, Parts & Novelties sub-forum classifieds here - but none seen recently...

But a pair are on eBay...search "455 end links".
