Fit was a bit snug but fit, I chalk that up to GMF bracelet and VSF watch, but the spring bar hole is too far back on the VSF. The DJ41 bracelet has a lip on the top that pushes it out.

Drilling a new bar hole shouldn't be a problem unless they are close enough that they overlap.

I wouldn’t until I had it professionally tested.

Although all the VS subs I had passed at least 5 bar prior to service straight from factory.

All the VSF’s I have bought (about 8 or 9), nearly all had loose casebacks from the factory. Check before getting it wet.

Noob question: Any tips to tighten the caseback myself? Looks like I need a special tool…

Caseback tool or a rubber ball or a wad of sticky tape wound around your fingers.. in order of effectiveness.

Hey i’ve read through this thread as much as I can but read very little on the 6SH bracelet. Just had my VSF 116610LN S29 with 6SH arrive. Sorry if it already been posted and i’ve missed it but i’m unsure on the following after reading some posts on here:

Is it a 904L? Read someone say it’s not.

Is the 6SH different to 7GJ

Also would a gen bracelet fit vsf?

Thanks in advance
