End Links
The bracelet links that connect directly to the case via the lugs, shaping how closely the bracelet follows the case's contour.
Authentication note
Why this detail matters.
End links are reference- and case-shape specific, and a bracelet with the wrong end links, whether from a different reference or a generic aftermarket bracelet, often leaves a visible gap or misalignment where it meets the case. Checking end-link fit is a fast way to catch a bracelet that doesn't actually belong to the watch it's on.
