Hey guys . Can you please give your thoughts on the SEL fit on this? I've requested more pics and pics of the clasp. Rehaut looks aligned to me, everything looks ok but maybe the SEL is protruding above the lugs?

Interesting. In picture 4 it looks to me like the SEL is protruding above the lug. Am I wrong or is that normal? I agree with everything else. Thanks for your thoughts

Noob v5 and v2 sel is not perfect it's somtimes recseed. Somtimes it's flush.if you really want it recessed buy the new jf braclet for the perfect gen look.

It doesn't look to me like the lug is protruding, looks pretty good. I tried the JF bracelet I have on my sub date I just sold, and it was a great recess but the SEL shape didn't match the lugs well, so it was recessed but the fit looked worse.

When I get my ND sub back, I will try the JF bracelet on it and let you know. It's the same model as this sub

This is is the V5.1 or whatever the hell they call it right? The edition between the V5 and this most recent release?
Honestly I couldn't tell you. I requested the noob v2, I assume that would mean the latest version

[MENTION=83013]smoke[/MENTION] said it looks like the fixed the "=" on the dial. So I assume that means he thinks it's the latest with a fixed dial

I see what you're talking about here but after looking at all the other angles I think it's pretty good. Enjoy your new toy!

Yes this is the same model I have, the improved depth rating and the crown is different, also the printing is stronger than the V5

Yeah it looks perfect. The only thing that is bugging me it on picture 4 it looks like the sel is sitting higher than the lug toward the end. I had a v5 last year that wasn't like that. Small gripe I guess

Ahh I see what you're talking about, towards the very end of the lug. I think it may just be the angle, and remember these are blown up pics, may not be that noticeable if it's even there.
The JF bracelet kind of did that, it wasn't the same shape so it was sunken in near the dial and sitting higher towards the end, but that was a V5 date so who knows. Either way the JF glide lock is better IMO

I know you guys have said it's ok but it's driving me crazy. Look , compare it to the sel fit of my noob v5 that I sold 9 months ago.

Look at the difference on how they fit from the back and front

Here's the SEL on my gen's for comparison....these rep qc photos look great (for the price) but if you've ever had a gen you'd never be able to rock the rep again [emoji26]

If your anal like me about SEL your better off sticking with the 5 digit subs, that's why I went gen on ceramic. The $10k was worth the peace of mind [emoji106]
