Yes, the short strand set was a long time coming. I got my NTTD on the NATO strap first since the short strand would take some time to make.
Once I heard that it was available on Extranet, I ordered mine through the OB early December 2020 and picked it up on Jan 4, 2021. Definitely worth it IMO.
Still can't believe getting the NTTD on NATO strap first, then getting the titanium bracelet comes out cheaper than vice versa.
That's surprising since Omega has pretty much been willing to sell any current production bracelet or accessory separately.
For all those with smaller wrists, having trouble with the comfort and gaps in the standard Milanes Bracelet that came with the NTTD, there is now a Part # for the shorter bracelet..............

According to my AD, the watch can now be ordered with the shorter bracelet. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it works for me as I had to flip my original watch due to how uncomfortable it was to wear and bad it looked with that large gap.
I tried on the short strap today at my OB and IMO its just a tad better but its still a dealbreaker at this price point. Gaps still there, clasp still huge. Its only half way decent when it's too tight to actually wear. I don't know how people can honestly enjoy wearing this. My wrist is 6.5" Omega really dropped the ball on this and I'm super disappointed. I was fully prepared to purchase this piece today since I was told the short strap would solve the issue. The strap is just too damn stiff and the clasp is just too big. They need to go back to the drawing board on this. The watch itself is great if you can handle not looking at the back of your wrist...
It fits well enough: https://www.instagram.com/p/CJpK3okDm0K/.
It definitely fits better than the regular strand.
On the pictures you’ve uploaded I think the 007 Edition looks like a good fit on your 6.5 inch wrist.
Have you taken those pictures when the Milanese bracelet is very tight on your wrist?
For the price of the watch, if you’re not completely satisfied, I understand why you walked away from purchasing it. I can imagine some serious buyers remorse each time you wear the timepiece.
I’ve grown to really appreciate the 007 Edition. I understand why many of the choices were made in terms of its design. I do, however, wonder whether a machined titanium folding clasp should have been used instead of the folding deployment clasp. The micro-adjustment feature would need to be added for changing the length.
A folding clasp with micro-adjustment would make this watch even better.
Beautifully crafted but looks cumbersome, are you going for the small one? Will they change without charging you
