Jubilee band on a 116622 yachtmaster.

I have a older style jubilee band that I want to try to put on my 116622, I know the end links I have now won't work so my question is what end links and spring bars should I get for this to work. Thanks for any advice

Would anyone know if the endlinks that are stamped "555 B" would work? they are made for a no hole case datejust on jubilee band.

555B are closed. You might try your luck wit a pair of 502T that are open and facilitate the necessary mean to reach the spring bar neck...

I'm not using the endlinks above in the picture, I was at my AD and we are trying to figure out what end links would work and he has a small used Watch section. He had a datejust turnograph "16264" with a no hole case and it had the "555b" endlikes that appeared to be open to get to the spring bars because it was a no hole case.

Appears? They are originally closed. Maybe he had a modified/Dremel'd version.

That might be the case, I'll have to see if he can get the 502t end links. Thanks for the help

How do you change the end link ? Will a super jubilee ie recessed clasp match up with the 40 mm yachtmaster 116622. .
