    What would you say about the dial and bezel, in terms of color? I've read that some people see brown hues but it looks very black to me in photos. During my recent stop at an OB, I was hoping there would have be one for me to see in person but no luck... every one that had come in was for a preorder and picked up promptly (no surprise, I'd be doing that too).

    I really want to see one with one of the rubber Seamaster Diver straps. I’m going to try and persuade my OB to throw one in when I get my watch later in the year.

    I’m only slightly hopeful but a guy can dream, right?

    With my pictures you get a good variety of strap styles and colors. I find it very versatile, so don’t worry ;)

    The bracelet itself is due to it’s unique structure very scratch resistent in my opinion. Only the clasp is a bit exposed with it’s brushed surface and because it is a bit on the high side (my only small downside).

    The bezel and dial are tropical, so in most lighting they appear black / anthracite with a slight brown tint. In natural light more black, in artificial light more brown. Together with the lume it’s a very pleasant color-combination.

    I‘m also interested in a rubber strap, but more likely in one with an deployment clasp like the rubber b for Rolex...

    The brown tropical dial and markers reminds me a lot of my Steinhart Ocean 39 "Vintage" GMT which also has the whole patina thing going with it, though probably not as brown as the NTTD watch...

    The profile is a stunner on that watch. Looks super slim and I love the gentle taper of the bracelet :)

    Yeah, it matches perfect with the lume color. The strap is from miros-time.de, but unfortunately they don’t offer them anymore.

    Ok, thanks... tropical is probably the best way for me to think of that color. Can't wait to see one in person - even with it appearing black in most photos to me, it's already a pleasing color combination with the lume so with some slight brown tint will probably look even nicer. Congrats on the watch!

    Ok, wow, I can really see the brown hues in that shot, thanks! Looks good either way (brown or black with the different lighting). The brown definitely gives it more of a vintage vibe, to me anyway.

    Kind of annoyed that they're sitting on display in some stores while I'm still waiting to hear about my preorder....

    Waiting for someone who owns the watch to switch the mesh or nato and put it on the standard SMP bracelet.

    I did a quick photoshop and I think it looks really sharp on the bracelet!

    I don’t like the normal bracelet and I’m glad they invented this titanium milanese bracelet which I love. Even if you like the original bracelet, why should somebody put a steel bracelet on a titanium watch? It’s a totally different color-combination and with it’s polished parts it doesn’t fit the watch in my opinion...

    Yeah well they could've made it in titanium but with the style of that bracelet but chose mesh instead.

    That would be an option, but I’m happy that they did go further and invented the new bracelet for this watch. Maybe we see a regular titanium SMP 300M in the future...

    And now a new picture: I love the aluminum dial, especially in the sun :cool: and these blackened hour markers ::love::
