Good question, I was just about to ask. Also, why CF out of all available options?
Yep no fitment issues. Fits a tad more snug than VS and has a nicer recess & sharper mid-link step imo

CF was what was available. RF & JVS are other options but were not able to be sourced.

Just replace it with a CF bracelet, they use the ARF bracelet, far better SEL fitment and it’ll also get rid of the horrendous catfish mouth shaped gap you currently have at the front of the clasp.

The VSF Hulk 116610 dial kinda looks "off" !!

Thanks, Marky, I had previously found a discussion regarding ARF bracelets and their fitment, good to know that CF uses them. Any additional suggestions to acquire one, I have already reached out to my TD (Li)?
It's unfortunate, I rather like the rest of the bracelet. The "catfish" mouth is present when compared to other CF/ARF bracelets I have seen in the forum, however not as pronounced. Also, the Glidelock seems to work very well. The SEL fitment just really annoys me...

as far as I'm concerned, never any sel problem. whatever bracelet fits on my sub's case will do. when it breaks, and sooner or later it does, I'll take whatever bracelet is available

as a rule, the hulk vsf dial is bright, indeed, too bright compared to gen

You need to take a breath
So many questions in a row lol
116610 is the 40mm version. The recent Kermit is 41mm which is 126610 (LV in this case).
I don’t know if the 116610LN or LV(Hulk) are still available.
AFAIK, some people are managing to get some 126610LN and 126610LV.
Which one is better? All of them are! It’s up to you to decide which one is better for you… the one you like more I guess
For a good seller… TDs section is your best bet.

Steve at [[Redacted due to phishing warnings]] and Li at jtime have them. Find them in the td section of the forum and drop either of them an email
VSF fanboys will tell you there’s nothing wrong with the SEL’s. CF / ARF bracelet is far superior, even the way it clicks shut. Li is your best bet, and it will also get rid of the horrible gap on the clasp that is an easy tell when on the wrist.

Would also say that quality of VSF pre-raid bracelets (especially on DJs) showed some inconsistency (e.g. jubilees falling apart and crowns of 116x/126X occasionally detaching from the clasp). CF being an easy swap is also interesting for this, won't be bad to save one or two of them as spare.
Did you just bough one and it was 100% hit with lugs?
