GMTIIC & Exp I bracelet swap?

Hi, I'm getting a GMTIIC (again) and have always thought it would look much better if the centre links on the bracelet were brushed rather than polished. Are the bracelets on the 39mm Exp I and the GMTIIC exactly the same except for the finish on the centre links. Are the bracelets interchangeable between the models as I plan on swapping them over...Exp I PCL bracelet and GMTIIC brushed.

Thanks in advance
Mike

So what you're telling me is...

You can swap a new bracelet onto an older case?

i.e. say, a GMT2C bracelet onto say, a 40mm explorer 2?

Or, as you suggest, a 39mm Explorer onto an Explorer 2?


This opens up a lot of possibilities for a collection.
I think the 39mm bracelet on the previous gen exp2 would be
just about the bee's knee's.

Mike.
