Jubilee Endlink 50

Hello sorry if there is an answer here in an earlier post, but I searched and only found reference to which Jubilee bracelet "50" endlinks are correct for.

My friend had a '63 Milgauss with a Jubilee bracelet. He converted it an oyster years ago and the watch is gone, but he still has the endlinks.

Does anyone know if these will fit my 1601 Datejust? Or... was it Milgauss only?

I found a couple of references to the "50" endlinks being correct for 1675 and a stand alone "50" does not exist on any chart that I can find.

Thank in advance!

50 ends are for rolled jubilee band and fits on sports cases. They are slightly higer than 55’s. I’d be surprised if they didn’t fit the DJ. At least with some love fitting it.

The smarter choice is to sell it and buy correct 55’s. Should net you a small profit while getting it right. Or keep them and wear it your DJ, 5508 etc.

Also, vintage USA Jubilee oval-link end links were can be found which were stamped 50 on the left ear vs the right ear as found on Swiss end links. Both the Swiss and USA end links look the same from the top but are cut different on the bottom side.
