Help finding end links for gen Datejust

[xJimmyM]

Hello guys,
New here but my father’s gen Datejust got caught in something a few months back and it bent one of the end links. Any ideas where to find a set of these that won’t cost too much? I’m trying to get it fixed for him for his birthday. Thanks!

You can buy aftermarket end links on eBay, gens also but they will cost you around $50 - $75 per endlink.

Judging from the pics above, it looks like the end link is slightly damaged, but the reason it's siting like that between the lugs is that the spring bar is either out of it's retaining hole on one side or it's broken. Take the watch to a competent watch smith, ask him to look at it more closely - a spring bar costs a lot less than an endlink.
