Are the bracelets on the 216570 and 116710 the same size?

As the title suggests... reason I'm asking is because I usually see suggestions to switch out the GMTIIc's bracelet for the SubC's if the wearer does not like the PCLs. Wouldn't the Explorer II's bracelet work equally well? Just wondering why it is never suggested...

I believe the new 42mm explorer bracelet has a larger lug width and has a bracelet with 22mm end links.

Ah right, thanks. I was aware of the larger diameter but didn't know if it affected the bracelet or not.

End links are 21 mm on the Exp II

20 mm on the GMT

If you really want to go jubilee and still have a genuine Rolex bracelet your only hope is that they release a jubilee option for the DJ2 at some point as it has the same lug width as the exp2.
