End piece website?

Is there a website that tells you what the numbers on the end pieces mean? I'm looking at a Big Crown Jubilee bracelet right now that has "55" on the end pieces. Not sure if that's correct for a 1969 Big Crown Jubilee. I wonder if there's a resource somewhere to look this stuff up?

I haven’t found substantial Rolex documentation identifying which endlinks belong to which Watch models/bracelet references. But there are various third party sources out there.

And yes a big crown folded jubilee and 55 ends are a correct combo.

This is not meant to be gospel, but is a good guide. Also, it doesn’t specifically get into the various nuances of clasp shape etc. Keep reading the forums and you’ll start to pick up some of that info.

Is there anything for two-tone bracelets?

Rolex factory parts books such as an R8 identify bracelet parts and end links.

Hey David, hope all is well. Do you know which manual (if any) states which bracelet/endlink goes with which watch reference?

This site has scanned pages from the Rolex parts catalogue for bracelets and clasps that you can save. https://millenarywatches.com/bracelet-and-clasp-codes/

Interesting that they chose not to include the 5510 and 6538 but they have the 6536 and 5508. I wonder if that is because the 5510 and 5508, as well as the 6536 and 6538 used the same bracelets and endlinks so no need to duplicate the line items?
