Tridor day date bracelet

Further to my enquiries regarding the Tridor can you experts confirm the following.
As I am understanding there are two different bracelets for the Tridor White, Yellow and rose gold.
Part number 20-8285 is the hollow link type
Part number 20-8486 is the solid heavier link type
Both look more or less identical but the second one is much heavier is it is made up of solid links.
Can anyone confirm this. Is my information correct?

Regards Graham

8486 isn't Tridor, it's Jubilee Karat with 3 small diamonds on each central links.

8485 is 20mm Tridor.

I made a typo in my previous post , 20mm President Tridor is 8285 not 8485 (President Karat with diamonds on center links).

There's no other President Tridor, except for other sizes (13mm 8270 and 17mm 8289)

Dear Alpino, I'm very grateful for your information as I was given to understand there were two types. If you are correct then it makes my quest a lot easier. I just need to decide which model to choose between the quickset 18039 and the double quickset 18239 or the bling model with the diamond bezel the 18349.
Once again many thanks

I owned a Tridor for some years. As far as I know all the bracelets has solid links in the middle. I was told that when using three different gold colors they had to make it solid. The bracelet was also heavier than ordinary Day Dates at that time. It was an early 1990 model.I sold it some years ago.
