Omega MOVIE watch, No Time to Die (Page 38 of 38)

I will assume the bracelet replacement is not some limited time offer and hang onto the v1. And I still am looking to hear first-person stories about the bracelet breaking.

It always looked like an aftermarket - right from the beginning!

There is no alignment, no adjustment to the lug shape and the case design and those horrible lug gaps  .
Milannaise bracelets have been cheap and ugly aftermarket solutions for decades - they rarely exceeded $20 of retail over all that time.

That’s insane. Omega have them in stock constantly.  The fact that you’ve been waiting for sol long surely points to what a few of us speculated a year or so back now, that Omega are indeed holding them back to create false lead times.

.................................

Just a thought...I wonder if they (Omega) had been testing and had sussed that there was a potential problem with the original bracelet? If they did and decided to stop production until they'd worked out a 'Plan B', it may explain some of the 'lack of stock' - I mean, they did seem to have a replacement out very quickly.

Though I am sure the continued delay of the film release will have played a part, in hindsight, they're probably delighted they have changed the bracelet before the big push on release of the film.

Evening all , I'm afraid I also have to agree with Higgins on this . That strap/ bracelet just looks all wrong. I have had many Omega watches over the years ( I change / upgrade every few years)
I have a Seamaster at the moment , along with an Aqua Terra & was looking at getting another Omega as an Xmas pezzie for myself, but may look at something else now instead

That's fair - - at that price range, a major structural/aesthetic issue shouldn't be coming up.

Went to visit the boutique in San Antonio on Monday. Nary a Bond reference to be found, save for a copy of Blood, Sweat, & Bond on display in the back. They had ONE NTTD Seamaster on the mesh in the back, reserved for a customer who has already paid. They did take it out to show someone else, so when they were done, I walked over and asked to see it as well. Original bracelet.

I had asked last Thursday if they had any of the NTTD Omega Lifetime magazines and they said they did. Well, no more by the time I made it there. They don't expect to get any more until maybe the movie comes out.

I wound up upgrading my clasp on my ceramic Seamaster to a micro adjustable one, but after working on it for over an hour, the sales associates could not get one side to attach and I had to leave it there for the tech to work on yesterday. The bracelet arrived at my home today, but I haven't been there to inspect it yet.

Nice surprise and hopefully not too little too late.

I ordered the NTTD Omega directly from the Omega site about two months ago, but the only model listed for sale at the time was on the NATO strap. Since I really wanted the titanium, as well, I contacted the Swatch Spare Parts team and ordered just the bracelet. They told me it was on back order for 4-6 weeks (possibly due to the issues pointed out in this thread), but I just got shipping confirmation today that it should be here this weekend.

Anyway, in case anyone was looking to pick up a (probably V2) titanium bracelet, they seem to be in stock at the moment.

It was $1400 plus tax and $10 shipping. A hefty price tag, for sure, but according to the OB - if you want both straps, it’s cheaper (by a little) to buy the watch on NATO and then add the titanium rather than the other way around.
