Take5 the insert is definitely a little bit to the right in side the actual bezel. But dont worry, my regular 2018 VSF SMP is the same as that one and it isnt noticeable on the wrist. And I am very anal about small thing. I would GL that. And if it really bother you like made, it should be a easy fix for a watchmaker

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

And serve me right, the second QC has come back with inlay slightly further out of line with the scallop edge still...
Is it really realistic to expect a watch repairer to remove and re-align the inlay? I am pretty sure it would get botched..

You are splitting extraordinarily thin hairs. I would have simply greenlit the first one. They are replica watches made in China, you will always be able to find a fault.
It’s an easy fix. The Bezel is press fit onto the case using a retaining spring and a metal lip underneath the aluminium insert will be glued in with what is normally the weakest glue on the planet!!

Received mine this week. Was taking the watch off and the case back fell off. Cant seem to tighthen the case back .. i can move it very easily. Have spoken to Andrew and he suggested getting a rubber ball to try and tighten it. Have ordered one from Amazon ( a proper ball for this job). So will see if that does the trick. Any one else had this happen?

Have you not seen the latest Spectre V2 VSF? Grainy dial on that one. Check out the pinned Spectre watch thread.
Sure, I follow that thread too. But in the NTTD they seem to have nailed the grainy gen dial, whereas in the Spectre it is definitely still lacking texture. I think this rep is better than the Spectre and it took only around 3 months to almost arrive at a NWBIG version. I'm waiting for the titanium bracelet to get mine.

The SMP Craig wore in his first role as Bond in Casino Royale with the SMP for his final role as Bond in No Time To Die. Great to see these two together.

Didn’t happened, but the advice is right. You can fix using a common antistress ball
Mb Im wrong, but i think v3 bezel number have very creamy color. V2 have more gen like color, but numbers thin

Oh wow I found it. Its a V1 nato strap. It doesn't even have the correct buckles etc like the V2 nato strap.... Do the people bidding not see that????!!! The winner of the auction is in for a shock when he sees stainless steel stamped on the inside of the buckle and keeper!
The photos even show clearly the stamped stainless steel on the buckle and keeper... What the heck.

A gen one was sold a few days back, went for £250. Can’t believe I let it pass.

Are you sure the one you missed out on was even a gen? It could've been the V2 nato strap which looks really convincing.
Hi Guys, I know the general rule on QC but having read this entire thread the comments are that people on this thread love the watch and are happy to see new photos of this rep so please don't kill me.
I think the bezel insert is visibly misaligned with the scalloping. Look at the lume pip and triangle. There is also some lume smear by the looks. Any thoughts?
This is a v2 bezel also. So if you have paid for v3 and want the v3 I’d be making sure that’s what they send you.

Yes it was legit. For me the biggest tell on the nato is the ever so slightly re occurring zig zag/notch you can see as you look down the edge of the beige stripe. Gens patterns are more subtle in this regard.
Compared to gen
I really learnt to look for it when I had the gen bond nato and the rep side by side.
