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

[Mc Queen]

Thanks for the comparison buddy. I wonder why you stated that the ORF have better case shape and bracelet?

What I can tell from your picture/comparisons, the ORF bracelet is not as 'flattened' as that of the VSF, as the gen is quite flattened. Also the case on the ORF seems to be very sharp, not as rounded as in VSF, to a point it makes the ORF looks like a prototype in progress? If you look at real life photos of the gen (or any gen omega) the case edges are not extremely sharp.

I will say that ORF has better lumed markers. But what can you tell about the 'grained pattern' of the dials in comparison to gen?

You're the one with the watch in hand, so really appreciate it if you could offer more insights/observations.

Irl Orf case has smooth edges, crown guards are more "gen like", indices and hands have the same color and the lume is stronger than vsf (vsf lume is inexistent). The grain of the dial is the same. Vsf bracelet is flatter but less refined, as you can see in the picture.

All the VSF prices are steep nowadays

depends on how badly you want it.
I had one and sold it, very light, noisy rotor.
Lots of other great reps out there for less money. Pretty sure these sell M2M right now for closer to $370-$420. Just some thoughts.

hi everyone, I am comparing opinions read on various sites, but in the end the best compromise seems VSF V4. in your opinion is it likegen? is V5 expected this year?

My opinion is there probably won’t be a V5. The V4 is pretty good enough and what’s left is the bracelet that probably can’t be machines in titanium for these reps.

ok. do you think I am right to buy it?

Yes. While the bracelet can be improved, if there is any new bracelets to be made by ORF or VSF, just buy the bracelet from the TD. I’m still enjoying my V4 to date haha

well! I'm glad to know that this VSF is finally like gen! is the mechanism reliable? what's wrong with the strap to not be considered like gen? just because it's not titanium?

So far so good. But it seems the latest batch is abit gritty when winding. It’s not titanium and the edge finish like you circled isn’t that perfect. Otherwise the vsf bracelet is comfortable to wear. The ORF bracelet is less comfortable to wear as it bends less around the wrist

A mix of ORF and VSF would be spot on (except not in titanium) - the ‘mesh’ is near identical between them, however the clasp differs. VSF generally has the lead here, the folding comments of the clasp are identical, where ORF has one component slightly thicker, that means when the clasp ‘stack’ is slightly thicker on ORF. However, the omega logo clip on the clasp is the other way round, ORF is more rounded like the Gen, VSF is quite different. This is the little ‘roof-shape’ bit at the top of the images, the second image shows how much more curved VSF is

I’m lucky enough to have all 3, so comparison shots below

Can you weigh the bracelets? I was supposed to weigh the vsf vs ORF but I didn’t have the tools. I like how light the vsf bracelet is

Here you go… quite surprised with the all.

ORF - 68gms
VSF - 58gms
Gen - 38gms

The strange thing is that even though ORF is heavier, it is noticeably more flexible than VSF.

The colours between IRF and VSF is indistinguishable, and to my eye the ‘mesh’ looks identical. Now I haven’t seen the ORF V2 in the flesh, which has wider spring bag tubes, so that might be different in look and feel, and I would suggest a tad heavier.

The gen is a world apart, complete with V4 VSF it’s about 96gms, and the feel and flex is buttery smooth and supple, it’s noticeably different in look, feel and wear to the others, but the price is crazy, if you can source one!

Thanks budd. Hahah yeah the gen bracelet would be lovely but the price is really high. I feel vsf bracelet is abit softer and thinner but works better for me

I have a VSF V4... it's running fast.. like 4 minutes every 4 hours. Does anyone have any tips on how to regulate the watch?

Take it to watchmaker, its 5$ regulation, like few minutes and he will set it

Thanks! Does it matter if the mechanism is a replica? I took it apart and I couldn't find how to regulate it.

Hello, may I ask how did you open the case back of the NTTD?
