I have mixed my bracelets up when changing the clasp over. Here's pics of both bracelets and the removed links (looks like there are only 5 removable!):

Phew! Had you worried for a minute though!
You did lol and I thought I was going crazy bc I couldn't find the 2nd link anywhere!

SELs look good. However, the bracelet doesn't sit "right" - the first links are under the lugs instead of next to them. This is not how the gen is. You'll like the BP better after you've tried it!

Ok bro thanks for all your help.
Last question I was just noticing while looking at the sweep of the seconds hand at certain points it jumps and isn't smooth all the way. Is this normal for a 23j watch or do I need a service already lol.
I only have experience with 2836 and 7750 movements.

Mine seems quite smooth but I can't advise you on this as I'm ignorant regarding movements. I never get my watches serviced until they go wrong (which is not that often!).

Yea I'm the same way. I've never had this before so I don't know if I'm being to picky or not.
Thanks for all your help bro

What is the difference between the original JF bracelet and BP bracelet? The clasp of JF is better than BP?Thanks.

There are 6 links that can be removed from the bracelet. Here's some pics that have been requested.

What is the total cost of one of these w BP bracelet? Looks great man!

The end links on the JF cause the first link to go under the lugs and don't sit correctly on the wrist. The BP end links are the correct shape as gen.
My pleasure!

Its the way the watch sits on the wrist. The JF mid link SEL is too long so the first link sits under the SEL. The BP SEL is shorter like gen. so the 1st link sits in front or next to of the SEL. I think that's how to explain it.
It looks strange, when you have a bigger wrist!
Perhaps this pictures can show you better!

The above is JF bracelet, the below is BP. On JF the first link is below the lug. On the BP the first link is next to the lug (same as gen) so sits better on the wrist.
