Sunspel vs OB gray tee

I’m in the market to buy one of the grey t-shirts from the recent Craig films, either the Casino Royals Sunspel gray t-shirt or the Orlebar Brown OB-T shirt from NTTD. Considering almost $100 for a t-shirt is a bit extreme, does anyone have any experience / recommendations on which one to go with? They’re both almost identical in price.

I'd personally go with the OB one, but it really depends on personal preference, and what climate you want it for.
The OB tee is VERY soft and thin, almost bordering on sheer. It's a looser fit, and perfect for warmer weather, like in NTTD. I mean, it was designed by a swimwear company, so that should tell you all you need to know.
The Sunspel is relatively trim (or at least the ones I had from a few years ago), and has a medium weight. More of an all-season shirt, and unlike the OB, can be comfortably worn in the winter.
If you want classic Craig Bond, go with Sunspel since that set the standard.
If you want a shirt that more closely matches what you see on screen, go with OB. Since it's been well over a decade since Sunspel provided their tees in Casino Royale, their fit/design has gone through a few iterations over the years, not to mention different fabric suppliers. In contrast, the current run of OB's tees are much closer to what you see on screen, if not exact.
