tbf the precision required i imagine is mighty tight, cnc routing at that scale would require a pretty epic system, and someone who really knows how to use it.

Looking to upgrade my 114060 bracelet. Can anyone share their experience with putting an ARF or other aftermarket bracelet(s) on their 11 series sub? The one on my 114060 isn't quite as good as the one that came on my 126610.
I put an ARF bracelet on mines, prefer it.
Several ways to do it, but I found it easiest with adjustable spring bar plier tool.
Initial prep was to apply polyimide tape on the lugs for protection, open the bracelet up flat by undoing a screw. Then went in with the plier tool.
Also FYI you likely won't get new spring bars with your mew bracelet order.

Perhaps varies from bracelet to bracelet, clasp to clasp but my VSF clasp had what some referred to as the 'cat fish mouth'.
To me the VSF 12 series bracelet just feels more solid. When I run a finger under the links they feel more supple compared to the 11 series bracelet which feels a bit cheaper and rattly in comparison (even after going through the ultrasonic cleaner a couple times). But in practice you'll only really notice it with the watch in hand. On the wrist there isn't a huge difference IMO, I'm just picky.
How are the SELs with the ARF bracelet? I would imagine that they can't be as good as the original bracelet, or am I wrong in this?
Many would say that the ARF / Clean 1LD / 5HF is the best rep 11 series bracelet.
SELs look good as far as in concerned. They're tighter than on the VSF bracelet that was on before.

I suspect people don't realize bracelet feel is a matter of the mood of which Chinese dude made the bracelet that day. I've owned Clean, VS, both 11x and 12x series and they're random lol.
Hi I was reading the whole thread for the last week - thank you to everyone for their contribution and massive commitment. It helped me a lot.
I just received the first QC from Steve for my first purchase. If anyone can point out any obvious flaws I would be grateful.
