New to forum. I just purchased a 93150 with 501b end links for a 5513. There is large gap between where case meets the end links. Is this normal or perhaps end link issue. Any help would be great.

Thank You

Looks like the endlinks are on the wrong way around. The curved edge should meet the case.

I am finding it very difficult to take this serious...

I will give you the benefit of the doubt, and concur with what Adam said

The curve size should connect to the case. Don't think it is big problem. Try to do that and keep us posted.

Adam,

I'm thinking of putting a 93150 on my 5512, should I use 580 end links?

Thanks.

Yes

I think your bracelet is defective, and you should notify the seller immediately.

brandrea · 10 September 2015, 12:41 AM

Tough to tell from the pictures but it looks like the end link is backwards as Adam points out. Here is what it should look like.

I'm not sure it's even possible to put it on backwards but I can check when I get home.

HaHa! Very funny thread-idea.....

Also, you might have the wrong end pieces. I believe the 501s are for sapphire models. Acrylic Subs need 580s. (Double-check, of course.)

In addition to them being incorrectly mounted. This is correct, 580's are the correct end link, not the backwards mounted 501's.

Welcome to TRF...the 5513 is a fantastic reference.

Whoever installed them backwards is hilarious or really uneducated with watches.

X2. Saw this before on eBay

This has to be among the funniest things I've ever seen on the forum to date

Kingface66 · 10 September 2015, 07:30 AM

"Hilarious"??
If it IS, in fact, an attempt at a joke, and while I get the set-up, come on, guys! There's nothing clever, or witty about it all. I mean...this is "watch humor" at its lamest.

HERITAGE82 · 10 September 2015, 08:41 AM

I think we be trolled...

Robbyvm · 10 September 2015, 09:04 AM

Turn the case around, maybe it will be better...

THC · 10 September 2015, 09:06 AM

Nothing wrong with the endllinks except that they are on the wrong side...

If you swap them side-to-side they will fit perfectly..

willang · 10 September 2015, 11:12 AM

Wearing it this way will keep the ref and serial number crisp and sharp!

I think I see what the problem is. The OP got the endlinks switched. The one installed at 6-o'clock is the one that should go at 12-o'clock, and viceversa. That should solve the gap problem, I think...

enginerd · 11 September 2015, 04:04 AM

I think I got my end links on the right way, but I'm having a different problem. I set my watch for noon, but when I wear it, it says it's 6:30. Do I need to send it in for a service?

made my day!

Looks like some moron put the dial and crystal on upside down.

as for the OP, this thread had to be a joke, no way someone can be that stupid yet learn how to use a computer to post a thread...

Aamin · 11 September 2015, 04:18 AM

Watched is good to go! 501b's worked fine. I love all the sarcasm a simple reply "on backwards" would have sufficed. Thanks to those who offered good advice, those who took time out to reply or post a picture just to be rude, find something better to do than embarrass yourself.

Thank You!
