loose 580 end links

Hello everyone, I recently found a new 78360 oyster with 580 end links for my 16750 gmt. I am finding that the end links are a bit loose and are making a loud clinking sound anytime I move my wrist? Is this normal for a brand new bracelet and end links? thanks

Andy

endlinks require some adjusting so you need to bend the "wings" on the underside of the Endlinks to get them to fit securely against the case.

That's right. The 580 was used on many other models with both thicker and narrower cases, ie 1680,5513, 1655, 1016 & 1019 to name a few.
