Milanese Bracelet NTTD.....Uncomfortable??

[sechsgang]

I have a 7 in wrist and I also had the same problem. Shame it looked great.

Yes, they should exchange if the fit is not appropriate.

I have zero comfort issues, but then I am using it on the 5th hole from smallest. I can use the 4th hole for a snug fit.

In the Bark & Jack youtube video he also mentions this issue, and believes it is the length of the deployant that gives him issue. The flexibilty may not be the issue. So a shorter bracelet may fix this by putting the deployant clasp closer to the centre of the slimmer wrist so the curve fits better.

Are the Ti and Nato strap interchangeable on the NTTD?

Meaning if one buys the watch in one version, you can swap for the other bracelet/strap later on if desired?

Or are the cases/lugs actually different between the two options?

Watch is the same so the NATO and Ti bracelet are interchangeable.

6.5" wrist here. Just got mine. 2nd from the top hole placement - yes you get the bulge at the clasp. Hoping that the metal gets worn in and 'softer" which allows for flatter lying of the mesh. Still pretty comfortable irrespective - and there is a short mesh supposedly.

[Mk2rick]

anyone has the length of the clasp? i would like to measure it against my wrist

[Greglaw]

Mine fits perfectly, may be the most comfortable dive watch I have ever had.

Is that aftermarket Milanese, or Omega sold Milanese? If the latter, could you share the part number for the stainless bracelet like that?

Thanks!

[Sjef1]

Wonder that myself. Looks great
Please do share

I was so disappointed as I just loved the way the watch, particularly the bracelet, looked. Any other owners have the same issue?? Hopefully, its just me and the rest of you are enjoying this beautiful watch!!!!

Hi Op. how big is your wrist? Mine is 6.75 “ and I had same problem. It is a well known problems at corporate , omega forums, and at great boutique. Bracelet comes in 3 different sizes. If to large , the strap will project past the deployant and will not conform to the wrist.

Was told by nj service center, it Comes on a standard size and can be swapped for a small or larger size. Waiting on my swap.

The regular length strands are part 021 TIZ015659.
The short length strands are part 021TIZ015662.
The long length strands are part 021 TIZ015665.
The 020TIZ013012 part number given above is for an entire bracelet assembly with the shorter strands, but the only
difference between that and the regular bracelet number 020TIZ012332 is the two strands.

If I purchased the watch with standard length strap, do I need to pay extra for short one? Or I ship the one back, and they will do the exchange for free? I have 6.5” and 6.75” wrist sizes

As noted by others, Omega makes a short version of the bracelet, for smaller wrists (i.e., under about seven inches). I bought it on the NATO, but ordered, through the Omega boutique, the short bracelet. I didn't know that was even an option, until the sales associate brought it up. The standard would have been ok, I tried that on, as they had it in stock, but the short should be better still. And, for about $1,400, I decided to err on the side of best possible fit. Now it's a matter of waiting, demand is high right now.

should learn from the fruit company on how to design and make a comfy milanese

Push your ad to do a swap. Your old one would have to be mint.

The issue for me is that the holes on the strap are too far apart which means the strap is either too tight or too loose. I’m currently wearing the watch on a brown NATO which is great and Omega have ordered the small size bracelet which I’m hoping will address the issue. I love the watch but the lack of micro adjustment is very frustrating!

How did the short strap work for you Lew

It hasn’t arrived yet. The sales associate at the boutique initially said it would be a week or so, but later advised it may take longer than usual. Sign of the times, perhaps.

I agree. After the movie release the demand for the NTTD Seamaster soared, according to my local Omega boutique. Bought their last Piece on the NATO a week ago. I ordered the Milanese mesh at that time. They’re telling me two weeks but I’m thinking more like 3 to 4. Better to manage my expectations.

[P2725TMB]

I bought one about three weeks ago and find it fine on my 6.75 inch flat wrist. There is a bit of 'bulge' in the strap but I can put up with that, as apart from looking great it's extremely comfortable, and amazingly light. My only grumble is I wish they'd used AR on the crystal, as to me the reflections when outside in natural light spoil it.

I think if they put AR coating on the crystal, it would have ruined the Hesalite affect they were going for with the double domed sapphire crystal. You raise a valid point, however, I think the double domed crystal adds to its vintage look and vibe.

[P2725TMB]

I entirely agree I really like the domed crystal, I just think it would've been a lot nicer if it had been 2 x AR. In the showroom under spot lamps the dial looks fantastic, but under normal lighting or exterior daylight it’s really dull and dismal. I took it to the AD to ask if it should be like this, and apparently so.

I also have a Seamaster Planet Ocean and the domed crystal on that is clearly 2 x AR and really pops dramatically in any lighting.

[AJMarcus]

That’s interesting. Maybe Omega was trying to keep the price down

The sales associate at the Omega boutique advised yesterday that due to delivery delays impacting the boutique, the bracelet would not arrive until late November or early December.

Thanks for letting me know. I fully expect that in my case as well. But at least it’s coming

I followed up with my local Omega Boutique and was told that, due to unexpected shortage problems coupled with high demand, omega no longer has any NTTD pieces on the mesh bracelet in inventory for the rest of the year. He believed omega will produce more next year. The only NTTD pieces available are on the NATO. He apologized but said he has no idea when my mesh bracelet will arrive, if at all, this year. Not what I wanted to hear.

Interesting. Hopefully, this SA was wrong about everything! Maybe I’ll get mine later in the week.
