Compare to the Steinhart Ocean Vintage - Very similar, but Swiss (if that matters to you) and apx $400

fiddlythingsThe Steinhart is nice, but the NTH has a lumed bezel and crown. It's also a 40mm diver, which isn't that common. A lot of people prefer the classic Submariner proportions and the Steinhart (and most other Rolex homages) are much bigger at 42+mm. The Steinhart also has a long lug-to-lug length which doesn't wear well on many people.
Also the Nth is only 11.5 mm thick, which is quite an achievement for a 300m watch.

SaoDaviOh, good points! And the thinness... that's appealing.

fiddlythingsThat's the main reason I bought it. A 40mm diver that's 11.5mm thick is literally unheard of. Today's market is all about these hockey-puck watches. Stuff like the 45mm Seamaster Planet Ocean that's 17mm thick. I get that's the trend now days, but I prefer the classic proportions and nobody is making those any more.
The old Rolexes and Seamasters were around 40x11.5, but if you don't want a used watch or don't want to pay the pre-owned Rolex/SMP prices, the NTH is the only game in town, as far as I can tell.
Here's a shot of mine with the lumed dial. Not sure why Massdrop didn't post a shot of one of the unique selling points of the watch. Don't have one of the lumed crown saved on my PC.

SaoDaviThese are literally the exact measurements to the Tag Heuer Aquaracer 40mm. A bit more style in NTH though.
