NEW NTTD No Time to Die Titanium/Titanium Seamaster 007 Edition

[EM9]

Has anyone tried to thread a Ti case yet? If so what tap did you use?

 

[leetcode]

I am also looking for a good NTTD Replica & would be happy to receive tips or experience reports. Has the crown tube stripping issue of the VSF's version been fixed?

Best version of the NTTD is the VSF V4 in my opinion

After many attempts to get a replacement crown and tube, I have good news to report!

Yesterday, I received a “Titanium” crown and tube set I bought on Aliexpress.

Yahoo! Finally, something that works!

The new tube, press fit like the VSF one, fit perfectly except it was a little bit too long outside the collar and required minor shortening to get the crown to screw snug to the case.

BTW you will use the included crown because the VSF crown does not screw in to the new tube. Yes, the crown screw into the tube like the original.

On the other hand, if anyone needs a VSF NTTD crown with good threads, send me a PM.

Here is a link to the replacement set.

Good stuff! But does it mean the crown/tube stripping issue would be resolved completely once you replace with these parts or they will still be stripped eventually?

Would you be able to take a picture of the new replacement crown? I like to see how it looks compare to the VSF NTTD crown.

Time will tell how well the new tube holds up. Can’t be worse than the VSF one, but now I know where I can get a replacement.

I’ll post a photo from the crown side when I get home. The crown does have the Omega on it and, though a bit higher in value (brighter) it does not stand out.

That's a really nice to know. Much appreciated! 🫡

Sorry for the delay. Completely forgot.

Here is a picture from the right side of the watch with the new crown. Probably should have cleaned it before the photo as I’ve been wearing it after leaving it in a drawer for most of the past year.

One thing to note is I gave it the oil/torch treatment (off the watch and after removing the rubber gasket, of course).

That reduced the value of the “titanium” crown to about the same as the midcase. It’s not perfect but you’d never notice if it wasn’t pointed out.

Hello everyone, has anyone knowledge about the watch I just found on trustytime888.io: OMG0843 - Seamaster 300m No Time To Die 007 TI/TI VS+ A8806 ?​ It seems equivalent to the VSF V4 but with Titanium braclet. It costs about 50$ less than the VSF V$. Any experience on that?

I spotted another factory update today from BUG (never heard of them?), with a claimed titanium bracelet. Wrong end link shape by the case on the band, so maybe that's enough to put people off, and not sure about the pearl dot... but the hands don't look pinky

Do you have a link to where you can purchase this?

 

[THXuk]

No, you contact your trusted dealer.

 

[LittleDeebo]

No, you contact your trusted dealer.

Which TD did you use? As mine doesn’t supply this.

 

[bhehe6813]

Looks like only VS+ and that new BUG are worth purchasing. No discolored hands like VSF, titanium bracelet. VS+ old style lugs, slightly different bezel color, BUG looks really good to me, but I’ve never heard of them.

I agree. Do you know a TD I can make contact with about the BUG version?

I’ve got my hands on the new BUG factory NTTD. Overall impressions are good but it definitely has its flaws.

Pros: case shape, full Ti, nice full set with canvas pouch and tools, nato is nicely made.

Cons: 12-3-6-9 markers don’t match well with the rest, the lume is almost not existent in the dark, the bracelet I have on my example has some uneven meshing, the bracelet also is not all that comfortable (something I struggle to find comfort in with these), dial is a bit shiny like the vs+.

The real build here is that bracelet, the hands, and then the VSF (swap hands and bracelet). If the VSF doesn’t have the discolored hands then no need to swap but all new ones do.

From your pics, the bracelet is extremely good. Look at the welds where it meets the bar, a billion times better than VSF, not to mention it’s titanium.

I also love that the movement hasn’t been decorated like VSF does, because VSF decorations are quite shitty despite looking nice.
