The broad arrow and 007 stamping on the back of the NTTD are a massive NO NO. Sometimes Omega marketing just cheapens the brand for me however I’m sure there are a lot of fans out there who will want one. As above, IF Bond was real he def’ wouldn’t be advertising and would probably wear a CWC or G-shock anyway.

and the NTTD

Thank you! THAT's the original Bond Omega and the one that got the ball rolling 👍

Bond always had a curious ability for being undercover while being flashy and using his real name, and for being discovered even while being disguised and in deep cover. Every enemy on the planet knew him on sight. I don’t think having “007” on the face of his watch would be a concern for him.

That being said, I prefer the Spectre. The NTTD is not unattractive, but it’s just too much “patina” and too much marketing for me.

Your right.
Just buy the black 300 smp.
Half the price, same job!
Then get an after market nato.
BOOM!
Great watch and personalised, instead of falling into the marketing trap.

Exactly what I did when I got mine. Except the nato strap is from Omega so it looks proper..

Probably just me but I can't stand the lollipop seconds hand of the Spectre. I've grown to really like the standard model instead.

As for Spectre vs NTTD:

I remember many complaining about the patina on the Spectre/SM300MC when it first came out. Well clearly the patina on NTTD is so much louder. The patina doesn't look so bad on the SM300MC now does it.. Lol

It's a movie tie -in piece, best not overthought. eg, Pretty sure Darth Vader wouldn't wear whatever Citizen and Seiko came up with 😜
Actually, Darth Vader wears this specific watch from Oris.

Of these two, I prefer the Spectre. I require a SS bracelet, and prefer almost every aspect of the Spectre to the NTTD.

Like others have stated, if you prefer the Spectre, I implore you to consider the SM 300MC standard issue. Your wallet will kindly thank you, especially if you choose pre-owned.

But of course. But this time its a proper side by side of them both in the metal instead of Omega's touched up photos.

Like the spectre more.
Me too.
To be completely honest I even prefer the "normal" 300MC with the proper diver's bezel.
