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

[stufuse]

With each version it’ll likely just be one improvement (maybe 2 minor) we will be waiting a while for correct colours and bracelet if it ever comes.

Well now I'm at a toss up. Get the v1 and a Staib bracelet to have a nice stainless pair, or wait until a V3 comes out with matching titanium case AND bracelet (hopefully).

Anyone know if the titanium bracelet (once the whole watch is titanium) would be available on its own? Is that something TD's sometimes offer, maybe privately?

I'm on somewhat of a time commitment because I would very much like to wear this for my wedding in September, which too is now up in the air because of covid...

Doubtful their will be a decent titanium package V3 (correct case, dial, bracelet, etc.) several weeks before September even if things were back at regular speed which they are not. But TD’s have usually been able to source straps and bracelets separately upon request unless there was a shortage.

If it is a vintage and a Bond look you are after, you could get an old school reimagined Rolex 6538 Helenarou with a sapphire AR xtal, logo dial/crown, and rivet bracelet for roughly $200 more. After all, No Time To Die is not set for release until November 25, 2020.

And if a V3 were to be released in time, you could sell the Helenarou M2M for cost or a slight loss when the time comes.

Not after any particular look really; was originally going to just wear my one modded Seiko SKX007 for the wedding. But if I can get my hands on a relatively accurate version of this watch before the wedding i'd be all over it. Either that or a price reduction to the existing V1; i'd wear it with that Staib bracelet we've seen the last few pages, looks gorgeous. TIME will tell, likely wait until July and go from there.

If the V2 isn’t going to be consistent in its color, I’ll probably just go with the V1 for now & IF they get the band right at some point, maybe I’ll consider purchasing another in the future.

Does anyone have a recommendation on what site to use for purchasing a replica?

That might be what I end up doing too. Have one casual on the nato, and the other, all titanium beauty on the mesh for formal.

seems ridiculous to offer the watch in titanium with that terrible SS bracelet. At least have the decency to sell it with nato only at a discounted price, because lets be honest those bracelets are going to go straight into a bin on arrival for most of us.

Well it took VSF less than 5 years to finally perfect their Spectre Seamaster 300. Their latest version looks to be the best one yet. So I'm guessing the NTTD Seamaster would have a near perfect version within the same timespan.

Imagine a light TI watch head, on a heavy-ish SS mesh. I would think the balance would be right off.

Gorgeous watch.

Looks great in your pics. Does it look brownish in brighter light?

Ugh, guys; I know it's not perfect but I got half a stiffy none-the less. It looks fantastic

With that said the only thing that truly stands out to me is red seamaster writing on the dial. It looks a little sad and dull...

A bit! It's definitely not solid black, but also definitely not like... straight taupe like the gen in bright light. It has some reddish/brown hues in brighter light. The finish on the dial is very pretty, really like the matte. I have been trying to take some better photos with the brown on the dial but it's difficult to capture. Will post results when I'm out of the hospital.

edit: currently of the photos I've already shot, this one shows it best:

To be completely fair, I don't think the bracelet it comes with is truly garbage, it actually feels quite nice and I might throw it on a cheaper rep (or maybe grab a DH gate speedy for that OG speedy pro look!). Obviously compared to a $200 bracelet it's never going to hold up, but it's comparable to the $30/40 milanese bracelets you can find on Amazon and such. If people are going for the NATO, it's a cool bonus strap to throw on a different watch I think.

How does the clasp work on the rep mesh VSF provided? Don't see any videos or photos showing this...

The flip-lock on the buckle presses into a little compression fitting, which grips the mesh and keeps it snug. Pretty run-of-the-mill milanese.

Ugh... its so gorgeous i dont think ill be able to resist the Ti v2....

It s a great looking watch. My only concern regards the strap to fit.
I am not a mesh or nato fan.

 

[imranbecks]

Watch looks good, better look to it in titanium. And at least the V2 mesh is brushed now. I suppose that's something.

I was so bothered by that fellas nails.... Good grief.
