The X71 for these two Blancpain(s) are different
Swatch Group told me that Blancpain HQ confirmed that the bracelets for these two models are not interchangeable. The endpieces and case thickness are different as the case sizes are 38mm and 40mm.

Furthermore, there is no discount offered for the bracelet. Cheers.
