I want to add one of these two Bond watches to the collection. I love both but I can’t afford to get both of them so I’m having a hard time deciding. The price I’m going to pay for each isn’t a deciding factor. The new No Time to Die or hunt down a nice condition and complete set of the Spectre 300?
I think so too, I was going to say you probably already know which one tugs at your wallet the most on a basic level. Maybe even which movie you enjoy most would have a bit of influence. One is all-in on the MIL style while the other is more of a subtle vintage tribute. Now if I were buying, I'd take the NTTD, even tho it's more of a novelty piece being somewhat cartoonish, it's also pretty unique in the modern Omega catalog with the factory broad arrow markings.
Guys, I know at the end of the day, only I can choose but when I’m stuck like this, I like to ask for others opinions.
I had a chance to check out a friend's NTTD last Sunday afternoon. Very much enjoyed how it wears on the wrist. I think I'd give it a lot of time if I owned one. (Sorry, no pics, cell battery was low, low, low.) Haven't had that chance on a Spectre, so I'd be going NTTD. Honestly, I think you are going to really enjoy whichever you get, so, flip a coin if you must, and post pics when you have the winner on the wrist!
One is a Limited Edition of 7007, the other is unlimited until the next movie comes out. That should be your answer....
Focus on the major differences, rather than the whole package. For me, that would be dial, bezel & hands.
Of these two, I'd go with the NTTD. But if it were me I'd get both non-Bond versions of these models for the price of the NTTD.
NTTD...like the mesh strap and the NATO, like the Ti. Not sure the lollipop hand is worth the extra $ for the Spectre, compared to other similar Seamasters
I vote Spectre, because the best quality of a true Bond is the timeless/vintage appeal, and that applies to the watches (and the cars) too imo.
