You need both if you're going to replace your chain.

True enough. I don't trust 'em (probably irrationally but.....  ,) so I replace mine with a top quality endless with riveted link..

well it's all in what you like or trust. Nothing like peace of mind!
Funny thing is I never used anything else I spent quite awhile trying to find the master link when I first got my Speedmaster!! LOL
