Rolex bracelet question? 19mm vs 20mm

Maybe this is a silly question but I have the opportunity to buy a nice gen oyster or jubilee for a vintage sub project but its a 19mm bracelet.

Is this actually a smaller bracelt or just the endlinks are smaller? Is the clasp from a 19mm bracelet interchangeable with a 20mm?

As you say, the end links are smaller and the bracelet could well be also- stick w/ 20mm and you'll be much better off. The older bracelets didn't use screws like the newer ones do so you might have to drill out a rivet and then install a new one- not the kind of job for a novice.

There are lots of 19mm bracelets around for quite a bit less than 20mm models. There is a reason, they don't work on watches with 20mm lugs. The 19's are for non sport models, Daytonas, Datejust, and other Rolex watches with 19mm lugs. Save your money and get a proper one that fits your watch.
