I own both this NTTD version and the white dial SMP you’re thinking of. The white dial SMP was actually my first real “luxury” watch I ever purchased with my “I’m a big boy!” money lol. Anyway, as much as I love the white dial, the NTTD is completely on another level. The colorway is really what sold me, but I do appreciate what titanium has to offer.

Heft is innately associated with higher quality goods. But here I think the craftsmanship that went into NTTD outweighs whatever it’s missing in weight. The box sapphire glass gives you a perfect view into the symmetrical dial. I personally love no-date window dials. But if the date window is something that you need then I think your decision is clear and you should get the white dial SMP.

It also depends on what kind of aesthetic you’re going for. Both watches are rugged but somewhat dressy enough to pair with a suit. I’d say the white dial goes farther in the dressy dept. while NTTD is the more rugged looking option. IMO, the vintage fautina is pretty unique on the NTTD and will make your wrist stand out more than the white dial SMP.

If NTTD were half the current price, then I’d say getting it would be a no brainer. But because it’s double the price of the SMP and you’re still uncertain about the titanium bracelet, I’d say getting the white dial is prob your best bet. You’re supposed to love your watch purchase and be inspired by it. But if you’re this much on the fence abour NTTD AND you’re paying essentially double the normal MSRP of a regular SMP, then I’d say you don’t love the NTTD enough to be happy with it. So shelling out the extra money for it doesn’t make any sense.

I also swapped the strap on my white dial for the steel mesh version of the mesh bracelet that’s currently on the NTTD. It’s amazing and I have nothing but praise for it. So just remember that you have band options for the white dial SMP, too. There’s no wrong answer here, but definitely go with what’s gonna make you happy on a daily basis.

This was number 717, which just so happens to be area code for Gettysburg lol.

From one Panerista to another, excellent choice! ✅

Amazing story of a dad who raised an even more amazing son 💪🏻 Your dedication to family is a testament to the legacy that your dad has created. I’m sure he’s very proud 👏🏼

I love my square, but it just wouldn’t cut it as a dress watch. So because it lacks formality it couldn’t be a GADA for me.

A Rolex and a Panerai Carbotech in 15 months!? Great start is an understatement. Wish I had your kinda capital, haha. Congrats! 🎉🎉🎉

The vibe of the look 🤓
