You can tell that by the thread end being perfectly flat and polished on one side. The screwdriver end slot you can see where the buffer kinda elongated the slot into the link and they match up perfectly. You can always tell when someone puts the screw back in the wrong link because it doesnt match up perfectly flat.
If you get say 2 links the Jeweler may do a mix and match with parts and it wont look right or be flush. If you get a new bracelet everything will be flush and unmolested. The new bracelet will match up just fine onto your watch head. I wouldnt settle for anything less, but its up to you.

Bas, confirm this for Jim.
I would suggest the OP takes the watch to the nearest RSC and explain the situation.
The AD can then explain the situation to the RSC.
WISH I COULD BE THERE.
