Mid sized Yachtmaster bracelet

Does anyone know if the mid size Yachtmaster was ever available with a choice of a men's or women's bracelet?

Rolex catalog has 4 bracelets for the 35mm YM - two 13 link 2-tone Oysters [78753 & 78743] and two 14 link SS Oysters [78750 & 78740].

Gender isn't mentioned in the catalog.

This threw me off when looking for my wifes
yachtmaster.

There are two different part numbers for the
bracelets on each of the midsize yachtmasters
however based on the pictures in the bracelet
catalog they appear to be the same except
for having one less link.

In particular, the taper, and clasp size appears
to be the same.

In the current catalog they aren't listed as 'mens'
vs 'ladies'. In the older 2008 catalog they are listed
as 'mens' and 'ladies', but still had the same part
numbers as the current catalog.

In SS, the 78740 has 13 links, the 78750 has 14.
In TT, 78743 has 13 links, the 78753 has 14.
In 18K, 78748 has 13, the 78758 has 14.

FYI, the width of a removable link on the 78753
(measured from a 168623) is 14mm. Clasp width
is 15mm.

Sorry that I made an error in my post about link counts - corrected it below...

78740 has 13
78750 has 14
78743 has 12
78753 has 13

Best thing to do is read the catalog yourself: http://www.minus4plus6.com/bracelets2010.htm
