79178 Ladies President bracelet

I need help in knowing how many links there should be on a Ladies 26mm(old style) 79178 YG president bracelet. Mine has 5 screws on one side and two on the other. Is this the correct amount.

Thank you for your help.

My book shows 36 links for the 8570/8 bracelet.
Not sure how many screws on which side.

Thanks imono, mine has 34 links and the seller said it was old stock, new in box, never worn. When it was too small for my wife the red flag went up. If there has been two links removed, I doubt it is new and never worn.

It is ok with 2 links removed.
As long as there is very minimal stretch and all else looks new - the bracelet must match the watch during birth - and at a good price, why not?
If it does not fit then all bets are off.

Thanks Imono but my concern is paying for a nib watch when it is really pre-owned, thats what i'm trying to figure out. It appears new but if links have been removed then sell it as pre-owned and give me a discount.
