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

[imranbecks]

Here's mine with the DB5 which isn't as big as Lazza 's DB5 and a smaller V8. Really enjoyed seeing the V8 in the movie by the way.

Ahaha
to cut the story short! Yes!

Well, or so it seems: I already got the Spectre and it was a nightmare to just get access to the regulator. It looks very nice but that cage is a... jail.
I do not have the NTTD in hand but from what I've see in the photos by jpchub it looks the same junk.

My point was that I've also seen ORF has later done the Seamaster with the 2824 decorated as the coaxial without any cage (or so I've read) that looks quite OK...

Should we sign a petition to the 'forgers' they should limit their creative talents to the actual movements and not mimicking one by gluing fake rubies and screws heads on a piece of useless metal?

=8D

apologies for the confusion. The pics I shared are from my VSF 2018 SMP 300M’s movement. I did state that in the conversation in a previous message. He was asking about the movement and I said if its was the same as the regular SMP than this is how you do it.

So, is the ORF or VS factory watch the best version that's currently available? I'm really keen to get one of these.

Yes. The ORF is the next best one available now.

One of the previous versions was better?

Yes like you said VSF was best, but sadly no longer being produced as the factory was closed. They may pop up on m2m but I wouldn’t hold your breath.

Perfect match with the DB5. The NTTD SMP 300M really gives the classic sentiment of the Bond we know of.

BTW, are you married? If yes, congratulations to you having a great wife who can accomodate those lovely collections you have at home:thumbsup:

Nope, not at the moment, but who knows what the future holds !!

Nice, my DB5 is the Eaglemoss one you had to build in 86 parts, think they might be reissuing it soon, it's a nice piece of kit, very heavy, much prefer the old DB5 rather then the new one with the machine guns popping out of the headlights housing

Everyone with a WTB asks for V2/V3 but i could not be happier with my V2.

The V2 bracelet may be less accurate to the model, but it really is a nice piece. Super comfortable, infinitely adjustable (unlike the newer one) and brusher in a way that makes it look close enough in color to pass as titanium.

Does anyone know if a VSF v3 would take a gen dial? I know I'd have to source one first -- but assuming I could, would it fit this movement?

I'm not fond of the V2 bracelet because of the lack of security. If that clasp is knocked accidentally or gets caught, it may open up the flap and the whole watch will come loose and drop to the floor. Poor design with that clasp IMO. Even a cheap aftermarket mesh has a more secure clasp. Another reason why I'm not fond of it is because you have to size it up everytime you put it on. Quite a struggle to properly size it too when it's around the wrist. I found it annoying after a couple of wears. That's why I switched to the V3 bracelet for mine, a world of difference. Most importantly, security and convenience.

you only need to size the bracelet once, then you just put it on like a normal bracelet ?

Yes exactly. Just like the gen mesh.

But not on the V1/V2 mesh the earlier reps came with though..... You have to size it up each time you want to wear it. Think of it like how you'd size a standard leather watch strap with the buckle, but this one is in steel and annoying to size it up each time when on the wrist.. Lol. And they were not very secure. If that flap accidentally opens during wear, the whole watch will drop. There is nothing else holding the mesh secure other than that flap on the clasp. Owners of the earlier V1/V2 mesh would know what I mean. This early mesh was a pain in the a$$.

So where can you get the V3 bracelet clasp? I just ordered the OAF NTTD watch and it had the version V2 clasp. Now I have an Aqua Terra that doesn’t run but unfortunately it’s not the right color.

Before VSF was taken out, there was a way to purchase the entire V3 mesh separately from the dealers. But unfortunately because of the raid, I doubt you can get them separately anymore. Your best bet is to ask the dealers if they can maybe acquire you the ORF mesh or if someone here is willing to sell away their VSF or ORF mesh.

What is ORF mesh? The only ORF clasp I see is this

That's what I meant when I said the ORF mesh. Meaning the entire mesh and the clasp. You can't buy the clasp on its own because it won't even be compatible with the V2 mesh. You're gonna have to buy the whole mesh bracelet which will include the clasp.

A bit confused here. Doesn't ORF supply the correct mesh bracelet/clasp for their NTTD?

My thoughts exactly. Not sure how he got it on an older vsf mesh/clasp.
