Robzy 0 Posted July 8, 2016 Hi guys, I usually hang arround the Panerai section, but ever since the Omega Spectre watch caught my eye, I really need to get me one now! Lately I have been searching this forum and browsed around several TD's pages. But I am confuesed about some things. So I am hoping you guys can help me out get the best rep to date Some TD's description say it comes with a Miyota 8215 and others a 8205, what's the difference? I found a spectre version with a nato strap (with the octopus) and then there is a version that comes with a metal band and a nato without octopus. As far as I can tell the watch it self is the same. And for the little price difference having 2 straps seems like a no brainer. Also the size description seems to vary between TD's, 41x15 vs 41x16,5. What model do you guys advise me to get? Regards, Robzy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffc83 0 Posted July 13, 2016 8215 supports a date calendar and the 8205 supports both. They're basically the same but keep in mind they run at 21,600bph. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grinner 0 Posted July 31, 2016 With movement will be fine, since the day/date mechanisms will be removed from both and they are the same base. You will have some stutter on the second hand, though, and a slightly noisy rotor, which you will have to deal with. Definitely get the one with the bracelet. It's a good bracelet, close to gen quality. The NATO strap, on the other hand, is not and quite cheap. It's not even as good as $20 generic you can buy from eBay dealer. I tossed the one that came with my watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RepC 0 Posted August 13, 2016 I thought the one with the bracelet was a V1. Doesn't V2 only come with the strap since they corrected the lug spacing (21mm)? Could be wrong I guess. I actually don't mind the V2 strap. The rotor is only noticeable when I put my ear directly up to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
