Hi folks, I can’t decide which one to buy between these two.

Which would you pick if you had to look for the best/1:1 (ss mesh won’t be a major issue considering that I’d go for NATO strap).

Many thanks!

I got the ceramic one because I prefer larger watches and I am quite happy with it.

Get both of them, they are completely different watches ;)

If the steel bracelet is a nice bonus ---» ceramic
If you are a nato/strap guy ---» NTTD

I love the look of the NTTD but the lack of a proper bracelet is a major flaw for me

The Neutral Zone
Definitely the NTTD. It looks unique and it's different from the rest of the SMP’s. And hey, it's in titanium ;)​​​​​​

I've read that the ceramic (VSF) version could have mismatching lume. Can anybody confirm if the ceramic version have correct and matching lume?

I have both. The ceramic 43.5 SMP would be my choice.

Never saw that. Only one version and it's PERFECT.

Thanks for sharing!

Which version of VSF is that? And can you also share a pic showing the Omega print on the dial, the hands are in the way in your picture.

There's only one version from VSF.

Wacht just wait a bit before you go for the ceramic as there a QC issue at the moment with the dial being mis printed. I think you are aware of this and thats why you asked for a better pic of the dial? You can probably still purchase and then just check QC. But I would ask my TD first of the problem was sorted out.

Yes, correct. This logo alignment issue was the reason I was asking these questions. And will make sure that it is corrected before ordering or green lighting any watch. Thanks for pointing this out.

I just approved QC pics from Sead a few days ago for a Ceramic SMP. I didn’t know there was a dial issue to look out for. Can someone fill me in?

Where’s the best site to buy the best version of the ceramic one and how much do they go for?

Do you have a specific budget in mind? Most of the reps are sourced from the same factories by the TDs, so they will have similar watches. You might want to do some research on the pros and cons of the factories and then decide. For eg. Some have the best straps, some have the best bezels, some have the movements.

I check on DHgate and Puretime, the watches are practically the same price, around $430. I do have the budget but I'm wondering where is safer and wich version/factory is better quality?
