Gen smp bracelet vs rep?

[pollux1]

Having read about various flaws regarding the smp, most notably to me is the bracelet screws ( this place teaches me too much! ) I was wondering, will my genuine smp bracelet fit the blue face standard and chrono smp? Thanks in advance ppl! ( My gen is a black faced SMP so I would like to change around if anyone was wondering.....)

I believe that it has been done,

But I have to wonder... why? The gen bracelet costs $300+.

The price of another decent rep.

C'mon... we have all had to make harder decisions than that

I was thinking I could simply bin ( or give away ) the rep bracelets and fit the gen bracelet onto whichever watch suited me at the time.

The chrono SMP has larger (thicker) endlinks than the standard SMP, I think the rest is the same though.

chief is spot on.

I can't vouch for the latest SMP rep as this model seems to have undergone a series of revisions (for the worse!!!) in the last two years, but the earliest examples of the 2824 based rep have a strap that is fully interchangeable with the genuine article.
