Will the 36mm explorer bracelet fit the 39mm op?

Also, does the 36mm and 39mm explorer use the exact same bracelet? Thanks

The bracelets are different......but both watches have 20mm lug width, should fit.

As above, they'll be the same lug width but the spring bar holes may not line up properly.

I like the bracelet on the 39mm, but was wondering if the 36mm would have the same design and would fit the 39op. Was thinking of picking up the 36mm.

The endlink radius of a bracelet made for the 36mm will not fit right on the 39mm.

What is it that you see in the wrong bracelet that you don’t get with the right one?

The bracelet on the OP is ok, but I really liked the bracelet on the 214270 better when I compared the two. Slight difference, but I thought the 39mm explorer had a more solid bracelet and slightly thicker. If the 36mm had the same bracelet as the 214270, I was thinking of picking it up. Don't want the 39mm explorer really.

I understand. Before laying out money perhaps you’ll have a chance to check endlink fitment.
