Just came across this myself. Great info. I checked my Subs and GMT Master II and the BP 116610 looks like the best in my collection. My Noob V8 BLNR is the worst with SEL that are to short. Never noticed the flaw but still love the watch.

Excellent post with nice detailed pics. What upsets me is that it reminds me of my *NOT*-Perfect SEL's. Not about to go spend 8.5K to though :).

Still a great review. Thanks

Have a v6s and a v7 bracelet. Can’t decide but most probably will use the v6s

I assume that the imperfections seen as the SEL meets the lugs can be a combination of the SEL itself and/or the lug shape. I have a V10 ordered that I know typically has less than desirable SEL characteristics. Anyone know if this can this be cured by changing the bracelet from another manufacturer? or are all the SEL's basically the same, leaving the regression imperfections left solely to the lug shape. I've heard of several people going with non-ARF sub but putting on an ARF bracelet due to it's more gen-like quality. Has this changed the lug regression as well in those cases?

Now I can't stop staring at how bad the SEL are on my "1:1" VRF 116710 BLNR. Thanks, this thread has ruined me haha.

Hello everyone.

Can some one please help me identify this watch.

I think it is GMF v3. But I am not sure. Is it noob or arc?

Please help.
