Bought Rolex bracelet 78360 from ebay help

[erics]

Gents,

I bid on a bracelet for my 1973 1675 off ebay and got booked on it.

The link is here:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rolex-Oys.../112707540328?

I am not an expert on bracelets...

A few questions:
*does it look in good conditions from the pics?
*does it look full length?
*it appears to have 558 end links. Will it fit on the 1675 or do i need 580 end links?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Eric.

Yes full length. 580s are best.

Thank you sir! Any where i can buy 580s and rough idea of cost?

Will the 558s not fit or look out of place?

You need pictures which show stretch.

Verv will be along shortly to explain she is not a sir.

Rolex ADs can order them from the mother ship. I think they're about 150.
558s may work as a short term measure but they're made for thinner spring bars iirc.

580's can be picked up for around £150.

Ooops! Sorry verv!

Ok thank you Lee. Seems like i may have overpaid for the bracelet the at £550 with the wrong endlinks. Thought endlinks would be a lot cheaper. If it works out too expensive, i may just abort the whole thing and return the bracelet.

How can you return an eBay purchase if you don’t like or want it ?

The bracelet was described as fitting a GMT when it clearly won’t without the correct end links.

it was part of the write up in this particular add and i agreed it with the seller.

Based on the pics, it was attached to a 5513 (based on Rolex invoice).

I found out that 558 end links were specifically made for the Explorer.

It does look as if endlinks can 'sort of' work with different models. I don't really like to have the non real thing.

Thank you again Verv. Out of interest, do you know if you can buy brand new 78360 bracelets from dealers and at what price?

Doesn't actually matter. eBay will let you return and refund you all costs. Bit crap on the seller if you mispurchased it despite having all the needed info though, but eBay is a buyer's market.
