I believe those are actually left over from Jonathan's inventory. They are top notch!

I'm curious, how are they superior to the originals? Are they solid end pieces? Do they not rattle?

Jonathan's end links for the 6139-600x case are so far superior to the oem Seiko pieces it is astonishing. Side by side the Seiko end links don't even really fit the case. These fit properly, are thicker, do not rattle, they are the thing you must have.

Thanks saul. I've been thinking about one of uncleseiko's 22mm repro straps so perhaps I should see about picking up a pair of these at the same time.

They're that much better you will want to bin your OEM ones. The OEM ones are actually a shade small. Thanks saul. I've been thinking about one of uncleseiko's 22mm repro straps so perhaps I should see about picking up a pair of these at the same time.

FYI, the pics I posted are of my favorite bracelet pairing for this case. A standard solid link 9mm center after market 20mm oyster. I use a ball point pen insert to slice off 0.5mm spacers to fill the gap on the end links which of course are 10mm. This works with both the bracelets I've gotten from Harold Ng (yobokies) as well as the generic Hadley-Roma oyster.

Saul, you nailed it.
I where mine on Jonathan's and links with Stelux H links or other Stelux Pogue bracelets.
As much as I love the Pogues, I am simply not satisfied when I wear them on an original non-Stelux bracelet.

Good news and bad news. The Bad is that I only have 2 pairs of Jonathan's left. The good is that in about a month I will be selling my new H-link bracelet (and end-pieces), which I believe are as good quality as Jonathan's. So, if you need a pair soon, shoot me a message! Thanks guys!

I almost got a leather Rallye strap for mine. But thankfully back then, Gabe told me to contact Jonathan and order his solid 'H' link.
The end links fit perfect and have never rattled. He was my go to guy for knowledge and advice.
And I still have parts in one of his plastic case for fitting.
