PO bracelet big gaps

[pippo]

After years I still have found no solution to this flaw.
To my knowledge the only fix is buying gen endlinks, have you solved in different way?
Dunno why but I can't fully enjoy my PO with those bloody gaps.

ps: I can't stand rubber straps or leather straps on the PO, they are not an option for me

The only real solution which you have already mentioned is gen endlinks, but there are a few other things which might help somewhat. 1 is the use of 1.8mm spring bars or 2 use 1.6mm-ish springbars and slightly bend the outer edge of each springbar place them facing outward on the bracelet and work it on the watch, it can be a tight fit and very hard to get off again but it can improve things a little, also some rep PO endlinks seem to be worse than others unfortunately.

Yeah, I am sure there are terrible reps with better endlinks in the wild, I just need to find them.
Gen endlinks...if they weren't so exp.

Thanks buddy

Could you post your gaps? I would like to compare with others I've seen along with mine! Thanks.

I have no camera at the moment, my girlfriend brought with here on holidays.

I was tempted to buy a cheap aftermarket bracelet , i'm surprised nobody has tried yet

That is because......well.....ummm.....they're cheap.

I know.. but the problem here is just the shape of the endlink, it's not the quality.
I can trash the rest of the bracelet

 

[Q5?]

How do you know the aftermarket(eBay) one won't have the same problem?

 

[pippo]

I don't know and I'm afraid you're right that's why I haven't tried yet , but you know..hope never dies
