GMT Master II (16170) bracelet

I am getting more and more interested in purchasing a pre-owned GMT (16170). I've heard a lot of stories about the "light and noisy" Oyster bracelet, especially without the SEL. This would be my first Rolex, so I don't know much about these watches.
I have seen a lot of 16170 GMT's for sale and most of them had SEL. However, are all the links solid? Are the middle links hollow?
Thanks for the help!

It's called the Rolex Rattle

Don't let it dissuade you. It's no big deal. But the newest Rolexes with solid link bracelets are quieter.
