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 ly 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.

Nice pics! I recently spent the afternoon hanging at my local AD and spent a lot of time with all the watches and I can tell you, with complete certainty that all the subs, gmts, sd's this year have almost flush sels. They are receased but very, very slightly. Just BARELY... Ihave noticed more pronounced recess in older subs. That being saidn i have no idwa if the older subs sels are more recessed by design or if its from stretching and wear..anyway i just wanted to chime in here....

Thank you for this great Thread nikoel, it's helping a lot

 

[friedfisherman]

You mention easiest way to fix the gap is with tape. Can you explain further how to do that?

 

[Theammer]

Someone should do a thread on all the differences and abbreviations on rolies. I had no idea WTF was going. Thank you op !!!

 

[gb7007]

Very interesting post thank you. Now I know where to look exactly with the next Qc pics.

 

[apottedplant]

Thank you! Now I'm enlightened.

And I agree with your other advice too. It's good to know what 'flaws' or differences compared to from Gen, but really no need to fixate on it.

Guys we all want the best we can get that is a given!
But more than once we have proven there is variance in the gen watches from production run to run, so if someone can see these super minuscule flaws and it on my wrist they are way to close to me for comfort!
I will politely ask you to back away, if you ask to see my watch then you are way to nosey, just comment nice watch and move on!

Thx a lot for this great explanation

As someone who obsesses over properly recessed and curved SEL, I love this thread.

I just hope our friend @puretime shows it to Mr Noob : )

 

[Rofocop]

Thank you for this informative post.

 

[m2msolutions]

Best explanation of SEL I've seen so far. Thanks very much for taking the time to post it up and spread the knowledge.

Just so to ask, will this SEL issue be solved by replacing the bracelet to a better or gen bracelet?

 

[DannyTheDoberman]

I love it when people put so much effort into explanations.
Great write up and pictures, well done Sir.
