I believe they both use the same 874a Fighter Bracelet.

Not sure about the same end pieces though

874a are the endlinks!

Both cases are identical so the bracelets are interchangeable.

Hi, Roff. Not quite. The B-2 has a brushed case and although the geometry is indeed identical (meaning the B-1's 874A fits perfectly) the correct bracelet and end links are model 892A. The difference between the 874A bracelet and the 892A bracelet is the configuration of link segments. On the 874A the center link segments are brushed and the outer link segments and end link are polished. Reverse that configuration for the B-2's 892A bracelet and end links. The 892A end links are brushed to match the case of the B-2 and only the center link segments (middle segment of the three segments per link) are polished. Interestingly, for both the white gold case B-1's and white gold case B-2's the correct white gold bracelet is model 874J which has brushed white gold middle segments and polished white gold outer segments and end links. 8)
Best,
Ron

Older B2 (batons) has polished finish and it's correct bracelet is 874A (2002 Handbook).

Yeah I usually find that the sales handbook is generally an accurate resource.

Correct. I only have the 2004-2005 and 2006-2007 Sales Handbooks. :cry: I should have been more specific. :roll:
Best,
