Thanks for posting your comparison. I've wanted to see how these two matched up and your comments lead me toward the NTTD. Although I like the blue it just doesn't fit in with what I currently have plus the weight difference really pushes me towards the titanium.

The heavier weight is great and the bracelet looks a little thicker on the 60th anniversary, I haven't measured it though. I would agree that the NTTD wears incredibly well and feels unbelievably light, something most people will love. However, the blue colour is brilliant and very hard to capture in abnormal light. Looks almost black on the pics but it is quite a vibrant blue, very similar to the first release Seamaster's. It would be hard to choose if you had them both together, the NTTD almost looks dirty and used compared to the clean look steel.

It is, fantastic watch IMO, the caseback is something else too. I have the Snoopy and that is fun but this just works really well.

That about sums me up so it should fit in well.

This is my current dream watch. Im a huge Bond fan, someone who fell in love with the 2531.80 Look from all the Brosnan movies, and got into watches because of Goldeneye.

I cannot wait to get my hands on it, and the standard bracelet. That will be my everyday wear.

Congrats, looks great

Sorry, I made a mistake in entering the weight. Just weighed again, my SMP weighs a whopping 185 grams.Ω

Interesting about the weight, thought the 60th anniversary would have been a little heavier.

Thanks for the info, assists other people in choosing based on this factor.

Congratulations!

I’m not sure if you answered this above, if you had to keep one which would you keep?

Didn't take long...............just had the call now and will be collecting it as soon as possible.

Any advice on sizing for the mesh bracelet please? My understanding from the NTTD is that you need to choose/be carefully fitted for one of the various length bracelets they offer............so assume the same here for the Bond 60th?

Thanks!

I’m on a list, and hoping it isn’t too much of a wait. Is the weight of your watch with the mesh bracelet comparable with the regular Seamaster diver on its normal bracelet or is it lighter?

I believe the regular Seamaster is indeed 20/30 grams heavier.

No. They are available at regular omega ad’s just like the snoopy. Snoopy is not restricted to boutiques. The boutiques will definitely get more allocated than a regular ad.

Interesting. Never heard of a Snoopy at a regular AD. I wonder if this will be as rare as a Snoopy. Certainly not priced that way on the secondary market yet.
