Here is my comment from over there:

Wow, just wow! First of all it's strange to see this as I'm so used to the teaser version on LD shown here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Secondly I love the "lamb" comment and that may be the sharpest ever rendering of Connery's scope gunbarrel pose.But finally after being called silly for upholding the LD/SE DVD look for so long, THAT is how YOLT is SUPPOSED to look!!! It may be printed a bit warmer as some trailers were, but for all intents and purposes this gives you the general idea and is extremely similar to my favored LD/SE transfer that at least still looks like the film. What is most striking is the footage's prevalence of browns; this seems to be something that couldn't be replicated in the telecine transfers originally done in the late 80's/early 90's and is NOWHERE to be found post 2006.
Just gorgeous, a taste of what a print would look like and exactly some of the same blacks I was shocked to see in a vintage print of THUNDERBALL. (Which are of course nowhere on the Lowry messes. The 1989 LD has the deepest color rendering, and if an IB trailer ever shows up, it would likely look like this I would think.)
Like I said, this Tech trailer reflects the LD/SE timing in terms of the yellow cast and brightness level for the most part. What is most striking is the deeper black level and prevalence of browns.
Now I'm wondering about Sean's overdubbed lines in the trailers...I'm guessing it was for publicity only but in this there is an added line at the bath and in the teaser I linked an extra dubbed line with Bond and Aki: "Even better in the dark".
