1016 with 558 end links?

Hi,
I have a 2.7 mil 1016 and a 78360 bracelet with 558 ends that I want to use on it.
The regular 1016 bars that I have are too thick to fit through the little 558 end link retainers, does anyone know where I can get spring bars to work with this combo?
I had asked around on this a few years back, never found any...



Paul

The correct 2mm spring bars for your 1016 will not work with 558's, which were originally used on datejust models with smaller diameter bars. You need a set of 580 endlinks
