Is the 7205 bracelet the same as the 7206 but with 19mm endlinks?
Read this on the www and couldn't wrap my brain around it. Is this true? Thanks!

No as the link sizes are different as are the center link widths.

Yes, the 7205 has 19mm end links and the 7206 has 20mm endlinks. But the last link is a different width to accommodate the corresponding end link and will either be stamped 7205 or 7206.

About 85% is the same. The problem is if you tried to take a less expensive 7205 and wanted to convert it into a proper 7206, acquiring the 7206 parts would put the price close to what it would cost to just buy a complete 7206.

Not true. The links on the 7205 are smaller in diameter than a 7206.

It was my understanding that both were 14.2mm at the clasp

Clasp on 7205 is tiny compared to 7206 clasp. If I recall, the bracelet stickie at top of the vintage page has parts manual pages on both of the bracelets for comparison.
Edit: I just looked and that thread isn’t a sticky, but it definitely should be. A parts manual page for virtually every bracelet is posted in that thread, wherever it is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
