The case backs don’t just ‘pop off’, they are copies of the gen Niadlock, so twist off with gasket. They are not as secure as a gen, and can be twisted with off easily without tools, and my ORF gasket was dry so I applied silicone to it. The movement is decorated, but nowhere near as well decorated as the VSF. I think a thicker gasket would work, but I certainly won’t be swimming with it!

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

Hey guys, took awhile to get my QC but here’s a few photos. I think the gem look abit skewed to the left but it’s doesn’t look that bad. The triangle printing seems one small bit off.

Hands look a little orange compared to the yellow markers on the dial. Such a shame they haven’t nailed this.

I haven received the V4 yet but I have gotten a ORF mesh bracelet to try out and it feels solid. It’s amazing. But I’ve seen in Chinese video that the VSF bracelet is more bendy. I’ll let you know when I get it in hand. Cheers mate
At this moment I think orf and vsf quality is the same, but vsf don't worth the 50/100$ premium.
Almost all orf nttd have crooked markers, mine too. I ordered it a month ago and I'll receive it in these days. I'm curios to see the "grain" of the dial under the sunlight, because it seems better on vsf.
Somehow wished I got it preraid lol overall I don’t think anyone would catch it easily but once we see it we can’t unsee it
IMO there is no such thing as new batches of VSF coz it is closed.
All the current available VSF pieces are from the pre raid production too
Of course, I don't know if there are pre and post raid versions, or maybe trusted dealers are selling Rled pieces, or leftovers from local sellers. Or maybe someone else is assembling remaining components.
But in the last weeks they are selling hundreds of VSF rlx, omega and Pam.
And the quality of most of these nttd seems lower than before. Only my opinion.

please post some pics when you get it, i might wait to order mine until i see yours. cheers
Just received. It's well built, the overall quality is very good. The markers alignment is not perfect but I already saw it by the qc pics and almost every orf has the same issue. Also a lot of vsf for sale now have a bad alignment. I don't like nato straps and before the purchase I thought I'd put a vintage leather or suede strap, but surprisingly I realized that the mesh strap is really well done. Of course the color of the steel is a bit different than titanium case, and the bracelet is heavier than the case
But I think it's impossible to build a titanium mesh band for a low price.

Looks good, but that pearl placement? how did that pass QC?

IMHO, that might not be totally a totally accurate statement. We have seen amazing quality reps in this threat some days/post ago regarding recent QC pictures, e.g.:
