How many links in a President bracelet?

Ok more more question about President links. Is the non latch end of the clasp that looks like a link but is attached, does that count as part of the 24?

That was not worded right, here is a better question. How many links is this piece missing?

I got what you are trying to ask and the answer is YES.

So you have 15 links on the '12' side and 9 links on the '6' side totalling 24 which is correct.

Your brcelet is complete!!

Thanks JJ.
You are saying that the Links that make up the clasp, both latch and other end are part of the 24 factory links?

Yes, those are counted too, so don't worry......your bracelet is perfect and complete as supplied originally from Rolex.

My new Super Jubilee 63200 has also been marked down by Rolex as 24 links and those 2 similar links are included in the 24. Here's a picture to give you an idea.

Note the same 15+9 arrangement.

The # of link screws are usually a good indication to a full bracelet.
