SEL Fix?

[dtdomination]

I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I couldn't find anything through search unfortunately.

I've finally got a VSF Starbucks I'm happy with after many trials. The only issue is that the SELs are bad in two spots. Is this something a new bracelet will fix or does the problem lie in the spring bar holes on the case? Any other advice for how to fix this? Many thanks for any help!

My experience is that a new bracelet can either make things better or worse. The tolerances on these are difficult to predict.

@KJ2020 has a thread that might be worth checking out:

Another use for fishline

Somehow this case got separated from its original bracelet so I had to find a replacement. I tried several from ye olde parts drawer and nothing seemed great. The best I had was this one and the SEL recess was not pretty. What's needed on a fit like this is some wedge material on the bottom...

Can you be more specific about what is wrong? SEL gap to the lugs? Too flush? Too recessed? Wobbly fit?

An easy quick attempt to improve would be to swap the bracelet halves from 6 to 12 and see if you get something better.
