So you're more of a bracelet wearer, rather than a watch wearer

And how are you going to fit them as it will be a very complicated job to drill and match the holes to fit the SS link parts. Your present links are not hollow,they are made from solid gold thick tubing.This term hollow gold now hollow gold is used in bracelets and neck chains etc.This often make the chain or bracelet look bigger heavier than they are.But this hollow gold is made up of quite thin walls of gold.

Darn. It was worth a thought.

I feel the newer style bracelets are a significant improvement over the older ones
