Strange.

I just bought 1.5 mm spring bars for my WM9 TT bracelet.  I also bought a set of 1.8mm spring bars but those did not fit.

1.8fit no problem.

I am thinking it might be tc bracelet sel is a bit long for wm9 v3 so that the 2 mm don't fit. the werid thing is that the top of the sel is long, but the bottom is too short.. so I can't match the lug holes

I'm having the same issue... I'm unsure of what to do.

Unfortunately, that's a problem with some reps. If the lugholes aren't drilled in precisely the same place top to bottom and from the case edge to the springbar, you might have problems. different rep makers put the holes in different places and it doesn't take much to make it impossible to fit the bracelet. Much bigger problem today with SEL's than back with the old sheet metal endlinks. I had the same problem with my GMT IIC sneed12 changed the case to a gen construction case, but sent me my old bracelet back. Wouldn't fit, I tried using a Dremel to shave off some of the front edge to get it in closer, but that didn't work. I ended up emailing him and asking for the bracelet that came with the watch, when I got it, I fitted it and of course it fit fine.

Really not sure how you can solve the problem, if you use thin springbars, it might give you enough slack to get the springbars in the lugholes, but that is going to make your bracelet fit loosely, as there will be room for movement inside the springbar. Check the case that the bracelet came off of, and then check the case you are trying to fit the bracelet to, see where the springbars are in relationship to each other.
