Correct End Links for 1013

[RonCT]

I've been longing to find an 18k bracelet for my 1013 since I bough it many years ago. I'm looking at a few old-style Jubilees with 53 end links and believe that's a good fit. I understand the 53 is for the 1803, which I hope might be the same case and lug size as the 1013 of that era?

I've looked everywhere, but can't seem to find anything on the web of the correct end links specifically for the 1013. Plenty of photos of 1013s with Jubilee and many don't appear to be a good fit. Best would be to test fit before committing, but that's not really an option.

Photo attached - Gold hands on Gold Dial was making it hard to read the time. Sourced a set of NOS black hands to create contrast.

Thanks in advance for any insight,
Ron

From what I can see, #53 endlinks are for a president bracelet, not a jubilee. You should double-check.

The Jubilees I'm looking at are definitely marked 53 on the end links.

Appears to be a modern SEL.

I've read past posts about the 53 Jubilee fitting the 1803 and I'm hoping somebody knows if it also will fit a 1013.

Those SELs look identical to the 53s I found on my President (on my 1803 from Jacek and I think the bracelet was original to the watch) and also the 53s on the Jubilee that was on my own very-similar-looking 1013 when I bought it (my SELs also match each other except for colour). Both those bracelets fit those watches. And I can tell you that you CAN force fit 53s on to a 1601 case but (a) looks bad and (b) feels janky.

So - my 53s fit both my 1803 and 1013 (and my 1012 I suppose although I haven't tried) and my OTHER 1013 has its rivet bracelet stuck so tight to it that I have no idea at all what kind of endlinks it has!
