·I’ve cut down my collection a lot recently. I like what I have now overall with the speedy being the versatile work, dress, sport watch and my PO being the chunky beast diver with flash. For my third slot I wanted a light field or diver that I can take on trips or adventures. I absolutely love divers so I got the NTTD.
Quick background is I always loved the looks and design of seamasters 300m but i’ve really had a hard time finding one that’s perfect. I owned the great white modern version and then the all black. I liked both of those but they felt a little chunky and seemed to overlap with my PO as flashy divers so i let them go. I then got the older Casino Royale followed by the Brosnan SmP and really enjoyed them both as they wore beautifully but when I saw the NTTD I had to have it. So those were sold.
The NTTD to me looks absolutely brilliant but after a year two things really bugged me, the difficulty with visibility in a lot of lower lighting conditions and the fact that even the short mesh didn’t fit me well. I sold the watch in April but then instantly regretted it. I figured I could fill that slot with a pelagos 39, great looking titanium diver. The pelly is the whole package with great legibility and fantastic bracelet, but unfortunately it lacked that oomph of the NTTD. So I got rid of it and rebought the nttd on nato.
The nato version solves fit issues but the low light legibility has once again been bugging me a little. other than that i love the watch but can’t help thinking if i made the right move. For those folks who own this watch what do you think? Do you just count this as one shortcoming and move on or look elsewhere?
