The watch head is good. Bezel mechanics is nowhere close to the Rolxx. Bracelet and clasp are toys standards
So I just purchased the Seamaster SPECTRE from Hont. What are your thoughts on the latest iteration of this rep piece?

The latest VSF? From what I've seen from the pictures, it's definitely as good as it gets and perhaps the closest to the gen. Post your pictures of it. Let's see it.
I dont have it yet. Hont just shipped it today. Hopefully in a week or so I will have it. However, I have the QC pics he sent.

That’s interesting and kinda sucks. I ended up purchasing Bond nato from Omega. I’m just going to put that on once I receive the watch.
Seriously, the Bond nato for Spectra is still available at the Omega boutique?

Yes they have that colourway available as it's part of their mainline range of natos for sale but as mentioned above, it's the non-Spectre, as in polished steel parts and no 007 logo. Interestingly enough, the guys at the boutique referred to it as the Bond nato strap when I bought it for my gen SM300MC a couple of years ago.

Yup that's the one. Polished parts and no 007 logo on the keeper as opposed to the Spectre which has brushed metal parts and the 007. Seriously though, maybe it's just me but I prefer it with no 007 logo.OMEGA James Bond NATO Strap - 031ZSZ002045w | OMEGA US®

Exactly. No need for the Bond branding. I love the SPECTRE watch because it doesn't have any of that on the watch. Too bad I cannot afford the real one for $10k now.

I think the new clasp is actually shorter than the old one, a guy on Reddit purchased a spare bracelet and posted a side by side picture:

All the hardware on the standard Nato strap is polished, yes. No brushed stainless. Probably matches the watch better, since there is minimal brushing on the watch head itself. The clasp and steel hardware can be brushed if you prefer that look.
If you're not a fan of the 007 logo, then I would get it. 007 logo can be a bit silly at times, IMHO.
Yeah, I got the same bracelet with the latest delivery. It is junk especially the clasp.
Is the quality of the rep VSF Nato better than the standard of the mental strap and clasp?
Below are some of my QC pics which I have already greenlit. Can’t immediately see an issue with the strap but will share more when the watch arrives from Andrew.
