Strange the notch above He valve wasn’t updated whilst updating the case design.

NEW NTTD No Time to Die Titanium/Titanium Seamaster 007 Edition
- Thread starter OldNavitimer
- Start date
FYI VSF v4 is officially available now: https://trustytime.io/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=35_83&products_id=22384
But looks like no titanium mesh yetjust updates to the case design for now
I’ve taken a look at the link, but I can’t tell the difference between the V3.5 and the V4? The rotor looks different to me — like it’s a ball bearing rotor. Or am I missing something (my rotor is loud and annoying)!
They haven’t upgraded the red-on-white lettering on the dial, which was the other thing that bothered me a bit — nor the lume (which seems the same as the earlier gen). The listing says there have been changes to the mesh — but it looks the same as mine. So what has changed?

Yep, the "Seamaster" is meant to be the colour of the tip on the seconds hand...I don't see why that hasn't been update yet, it can't be that hard! :thud:
So, "Upgraded Casekit, Dial, Bezel and Markers to look like the Genuine". I can't tell the difference with the v3? Can anyone do up a side by side?

The too dark SEAMASTER text should be updated, yes. They should do it the same way like the gen OMEGA; print it in white and overpring in red. Ould make it much more brighter

That’s helpful! Thanks!
Just a few tweaks and it could go on the NWNIG list!

Respectfully lads, the misaligned bezel is the most frequently mentioned issue on this thread. It really should've been the first thing you look out for on the QC pics.
Question now is, is it Fixable. Will need to reach out to a watchsmith.

Mine has a slightly loose bezel and has a little bit of play left and right. When tapping moves up and down very so slightly. Therefore, yours will probably align when you tweak it like mine does. However, if yours is loose as well it will probably bother you more. You can read about potential fix people have suggested on this thread - i haven't risked it yet!
Think he’s talking about the alignment of the insert within the scallop edged outer bezel. Easy fix luckily nevertheless but to be fair this was is a glaring error on the qc and should have been spotted!
