Yes it will, I tried all rep bracelets (MKF,BP,OMF) on a gen case and they've fitted.
I would recommend MKF or BP.

Thanks good to know

Are you aware of any of the TD's that will specifically sell a bracelet alone without the watch head? If so, which one do you recommend? Puretime or Toro Barvo by chance?

Also, how does one go about reviewing QC pics for a bracelet?

I bought from both and both are solid. Check their policies, do they sell parts solo, without ordering a watch, i do not remember.
I have brand new mkf in plastic which I am not gonna use, pm me if you need me to put it on m2m.

Will do.....hows the mk/bp quality compared to the gen bracelets....I'm currently using a lower-end 1502/824 rep bracelet which is far from the gen in terms of both quality and appearance

I'd be interested if the OP isn't

Noone will call you out if you strap mk/bp on gen. You need to check the inner part of the clasp to tell those are not gen.

There is no decent replica of the older pre-ceramic SMP, so all those bracelets are poor. 1502/824 is 18mm bracelet, for a mid-size watch. Your gen is 36mm?

Nah my gen is the 41mm SMPc 007 50th, guess the 20mm SS rep bracelet is also labeled incorrectly hahaha....anyways sent you a pm

Here are pictures of the current bracelet I am using.

I added the old 007 clasp myself but interesting to see that it's serial number is mislabeled for 18mm

Overall not too satisfied with quality although it wears comfortably

What's odd are the end links are very different from the bracelet @k4jun

Mislabeling is pretty common for the bracelets from ali/dhgate, those cheaper factories do not care about the stamps.
You should consider this bracelet a winner as they hardly fit to gen case;)
