Will Yacht-Master II oyster bracelet fit 42mm Yacht-Master (White Gold)?

Anyone know if the white gold bracelet from the Yacht-Master II 116689 would fit on the 42mm Yacht-Master 226659 (white gold on Oysterflex)? They both have 21mm lug spacing but not sure if the thickness of the links versus lugs would work.

Usually Rolex uses different lug hole locations for strap watches, so I do not think it will work.

I will say that the lugs on ym42 are oddly close to the case to keep the OF close to the case. Lug holes prob won’t line up.

My experience has been that bracelets from one model do not fit lug holes on other models. I tried to put my bracelet from my Explorer I on a second Explorer II that i bought used with a strap, and I couldn't get it to fit. My AD looked at me like I was an idiot when I brought it all in to get help, and I ended up ordering a new bracelet with SEL from the AD, and they look at me like I'm smart again.
