dang, thats a nice one...was the original bracelet that bad?
Well... in a way it was; it had one ss replacement link and the lug ends were twisted, also one lug end was bended by a previous owned to make it a better fit?
However, taking a pvd link out of the end of the bracelet would result in one missing main link (they are huge) and a too short bracelet (not to mention the damage to the pvd on the link by bending, due to its material). See picture below.
PVD'd case and bracelet are made out of alumineum, I never saw this before, but interesting -and vulnerable-. So I chose for this one, the best alternative in my stock of Citizen bracelets..
