Bracelet check ?

Found a jeweler to replace my broken gmt 78200 bracelet , everything seems fine about except inside clasp looks like it has texture .on my original band it didn't seem as textured so wondering if mine got buffed out and this is normal or not also end links stamp seems smaller ?

True. Polished replaced "frosted" or textured around 2015.
My 116710 purchased in 2014 has the same finishing. I like it more vs the polished one.
So no worries

Do you know if the numbers were smaller also the end links ,they seem to be smaller etching then my other bracelet? They company seem pretty reliable with good reference just being cautious.

Unfortunately I can't confirm that as I have never removed my bracelet. But perhaps other forum members could chime in.
Since it's a reputable company you're dealing with, you should be alright but nothing wrong with being cautious of course.

Same bracelet, just aesthetics are different. The only 1167xx bracelet different from my understanding are the new ones from Basel '18
