Silly bracelet question (...sorry)

Will a 78360 Clasp fit a 93150 bracelet?

As much as I love my Sub and as hard as I try, I cannot find any love for the 1980's flip-lock clasp on the 93150. The profile is too thick, the edges too sharp etc..

I'd like to replace it with a 78360 clasp which is a much better shape and size for my wrist.

While I've seen clasps on offer, seldom do they have the 'attaching link' (Ref Rolex #32-20685 / 32-20736). The one riveted to the blade end and with the screw-in bolt. Is there a reason why sellers remove these before selling the rest of the clasp?

Has anyone done this or have any advice?

+1 on the preference for a 78360 over 93150. I frequently wear my subs and gmts on the 78360 for similar reasons. I do love me a nice 9315 though!!

I've been tempted to dump the whole 93150 and replace it with a 78360 but it just seems such an extravagant waste when my beef is with the clasp only...

I'd like to just swap out the clasp but with all things Rlx, nothing is every simple.
