Datejust II two tone bracelet question

I know the new submariners have the solid gold middle links, I was wondering is the same true for the Datejust II? I think they came out around the same time, I just figure with the solid gold links it would be a stronger watch, less stretch and wear.

Everything in the current Rolex range has solid links now, the 14060M Submariner was the last to have hollow links

I think the bracelets squeaked better and the whole watch felt lighter before solid links. But that's an individual preference.

So do the newer bracelets stretch less or not stretch at all?
