Hi again, although all gen subs i've seen on the internet and here on the forum have recessed SEL ,i saw one at an AD that really looked like it had the sel almost flush with the lugs, at least in my opinion. Here are some pictures:

What do you guys think?

Also other members have stated that not all gen subs have the sel recessed nowadays.

I think you have found the evidence that proves everyone should calm down.

Yeah and if i remember well also Smoke stated that the dial of the v7 is correct so v7 should be a very good rep.

I think it is more the gap that is sometimes present that is more of an issue?

I was also thinking about getting a v6s just to swap bracelets and sell the v6s with the v7 bracelet at a lower price but after seeing the sub shown above i calmed down and settled with the v7 as it is.

I am also waiting for my v7. In the qc pics i noticed a gap between the lug and the sel. I have mentioned the issue to puretime but they said that they don't see this problem and have sent other pics in wich the gap was less obvious. I hope it won't be a big issue.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[Spatiumtemporis]

I don't think you can order the v6s bracelet separately and also am not shure if swaped it fixes the issue.

Hi, do somebody know if its possible to swap the SEL? I cant see any way to separate it from the rest of the links but I am not sure

 

[peterk]

Nope because that's recessed like a dream.I've got my v7 and new V6s sel to look like that super sharp.zero gaps and recessed perfectly

Yea you can

 

[avorolex]

Yea you can

Great, my V5 has good SELs but the rest of the links have gaps between the middle part and the side parts, if I swap the SELs with the V7 SELs then maybe I will have a perfect bracelet with no gaps in the links and perfect SELs. How can I separate the SEL if it doesnt have amy screw?

V5 sel is too long it will fit but will not look good as the v5 sel is as long as the lugs.only the v6s bracelet or sel is a replacement to use.you wouldn't separate the sel you would just use the sel and the first 4 fixed links.but u may aswell just use the entire thing.
