Hi!
Obviously the clasp is different but does a member here know if the links are identical?
Thank you @tnt9 for the pictures!
Have a nice day!

Generally, the links are interchangeable, but I wouldn’t say identical and it doesn’t really seem related to the clasp.

95% of 1098 removable links use spring bars. I did however come across one that used screw pins.

Generally, you see early ones with the 30/31 clasp blades and the later ones with the 11 blades. But i’ve noticed two types of 11 blades—some have that cutout in the center to hold the clasp together and the others (latest ones?) have a piece of metal near the top end that holds the blades together.

There are novolink varieties as well which usually have different link construction and JDM bracelets that have a slightly different clasp covers and construction.
