6635 and 7205 Oyster Bracelet, help!

I'm hoping a few of you can confirm some measurements for me.

Recently picked up an Oyster bracelet but its a bit smaller than I expected.

Can anyone confirm the clasp measurements from their 6635/7205 bracelets for me?

Also, can anyone share what the differences between the two are? I read it was overall length but wanted to confirm.

Any help is appreciated.

My clasp measurements are:
12.5-13mm wide
unbuckled length 95mm
top of crown to flat spot 25mm
stamped link 39mm (over curve)

They seem smaller but are correct. They were also used with 17mm ends.

The 6635 was an expansion bracelet versus the fixed 7205.

No idea how I didn’t put that together. I’ve read that article at least twice and have that chart saved. ����*♂️
