Hi guys, quick question I've a 1973 Rolex red sub which has the original folded link bracelet. I'm looking at swapping this for a 2005 93150 bracelet from a Rolex non date sub, this has 501b end links but I've read that they don't fit too well on the older subs. Is this right? Do I need different end links? If this bracelet is from 2005 I presume these are solid end links?

Thanks

I would strongly recommend the 580s over the 501b on a 1680 sub. The 501b fit poorly to mine and caused some damage to the text between lugs. The 580s are very snug and fit very well.

yes people here sell them (and I have a pair that I can sell). If you decide that 580s are the way you want to go, feel free to send me a pm.

Mine has a 93150 + 580s fits and wears perfect

Yes, 580's are correct and will fit the best on a 1680.
