The newer models have all solid center links but they don't have SEL's. Instead the end links are solid (!!) and connect with the bracelet and with the watch with spring bars.
I hope that, what i said, makes sense.

Also, at least on my bracelet, the center link is actually hollow. And I believe Panos and I have the same bracelet for our Tudor chronos, but I might be wrong. It sounds reasonable that the current version is all solid.

The end links are just like Panos described them: Solid.

I am afraid that i was wrong and Bill is right and Anders also. The center link even on my newer 62590 bracelet, the same as Anders, is hollow.

All the other links are solid and it is extremely difficult to capture it in pic.

Here is a recent pic of my bracelet:




Finally and since i have the bracellet away from the watch after a lot of attempts i captured it.
