I considered getting go the titanium bracelet for stainless seamaster, I’ve seen a few Instagram accounts where guys have that setup, they seem to really enjoy it.
In the end, to have matching bracelet and case metals and also a SIGNIFICANT cost reduction between the titanium and stainless, I went stainless. I was quoted a little over $1400 usd for the titanium mesh and paid $750 plus tax usd for the stainless mesh
another photo because why not lol ..

·I personally haven't been fond of any Bond watches. I've never been really into the movies, let alone the watches. Although I appreciate the Omega linkage to the movie, the hype will go down. If you look at the older 007 watches, I personally do not think they have aged well.
But, what I do appreciate is the mesh bracelet! I know some folks feel it is too bulky, but it just changes the personality of the watch!

Steel or titanium? I have the “Rising Sun” and haven’t thought to put my Titanium mesh on it but that makes me think about it.

·The NTTD is one of the most versatile watches I reckon especially when it comes to straps. I’ve seen it on Milanese, nato, leather etc and it looks like a different watch each time, mainly because of the way in which light reflected on it brings out different colours. It’s not recognisable as a Bond watch at all until you look at the caseback. If this had been released without a Bond reference, I think it would have been appreciated more. On a recent The Bond Experience vodcast the costume designer for NTTD confirmed there was also an rubber version designed but not used.

·Great input from all of you - thank you. I need to clarify my first post a bit - as I said I'm ok with the watch not holding its value. Thats not my issue. More is it a question of how this watch will be seen a couple of years from now when the energy from the movie is long gone. A gimick from the past? A very small part of the Omega history and lineup that few will remember - like the Dynamic of the 90s for example and long gone from the discussion forums?
I think it is a pretty nice watch today and I believe that it will remain so in the future.

·Have had mine for a few weeks now and I'm still absolutely obsessed with it! 👍
I enjoy it on the Milanese bracelet most of the time, which I feel has started a trend and is the watch's signature look. But I also like the NATO strap too. 😁

I have the stainless bracelet mounted on the stainless case seamaster 300m. It is definitely heavier than the titanium/titanium NTTD combo

That looks good!
Am considering the purchase of a NTTD. Purchased the Omega OEM SS Milanese and like it look on my Speedy 3861 and SM Non AC 2230, so think will like the Ti version of the NTTD.
Am also happy to see US designed a couple of Ti bands for it, like the look of the 1450 style below (just $180):

·To me, the titanium Milanese is best, and the only way to get that bracelet.
I put the steel Milanese on my 300 and it’s an amazing setup. Never thought about it on a speedmaster. I’ve seen people on here say that only dive watches should get a Milanese. I love that look on the speedy though and now I’m tempted to get the 20mm one…
