Hey all,

I recently purchased an Emergency, sans bracelet. I found that 138E was the correct bracelet/endlinks. I bought a Ti bracelet from authenticwatches.com as they advertised the bracelet as 130E/138E and I figured they must be the same endlinks.

Wrong.

130E endlinks do NOT fit the Emergency.

I'd rather find a pair of 138E endlinks than return the bracelet, as they are nigh impossible to find. Any suggestions? My AD hasn't been helpful.

Thanks,
Jason

130E end links are for Aerospace Avantage.

Correct.

Is there a way to buy just 138E endlinks, now that I already have the bracelet? My AD has been less than helpful.

Changing your AD may be your best bet. 130E bracelets are not even the same size links as the 138E bracelet. They are much smaller. I'm not sure why they are both called Pro II bracelets. One option would be to look for a second hand Pro I with 862E end links.

An AD should be able to order end links, as happy_chapie says it may be time for a new AD. Selling the entire bracelet and buying a replacement is the only other option which will likely work out expensive given Authentic Watches usual approach to bracelet pricing.
