Gap between case and endlinks
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

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

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. |

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

"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. |

Nothing wrong with the endllinks except that they are on the wrong side...
If you swap them side-to-side they will fit perfectly..

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...

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?

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! |

Aamin,
I'm with you - there truly should be no such thing as a "stupid" question. We all have our comfort zones and there is no excuse to mock those that are outside theirs. I myself have learned a lot from asking stupid questions and those that mock are only limiting themselves. |

Ah finally. U came back n made a comment. Good to know u r not a troll. It's not necessary to introduce ur self but it polite no? Especially if u r asking for help? Most of the members here especially on vintage section has been collecting for decades n will come to ur aid until their last breath (RIP Marci). Given that this is a public forum, it's not uncommon for trolls to b trolling around. So when someone new posting a question about something that's trivial to most here n disappear for a while, of course the more naughty members start poking fund at it. Believe me it's not the spirit of this forum, just ask any of the moderators, they r so quick handed to click anyone out(pun intended). So stick around n u will realized how much wealth of information gather here. Think of it this way, u initiated a few good laughs, as unpolitically incorrect as they r. BTW, welcome to the forum. ✌🏻️ I blame it on the autoconnect. |
