    Please post pictures, not links, both for posterity and lowering the barrier to give advice.

    You can download the pictures off eBay and post them using the add photos button. As it is, your eBay link won't open since the auction is over.

    I honestly do not see where I can download the photos but if you click on the link and click see original listing all the photos are there. Sorry but that is all I know how to do. I do appreciate the input.

    If it helps it is a 166.039 first generation Dynamic with a 565 caliber movement.

    Put a little effort into it and you will receive effort.

    If downloading photos are trouble for some reason, you can also do a screen capture with your smartphone or computer, and post those. I have a growing fondness for Dynamics, looking forward to seeing yours

    Let me give you a hint.

    With a windows based operating system you right click on the image, select "Copy image address". Come to the thread page where you want to post and select the little icon at the top of the reply box that looks like a mountain and the sun. Right click again to paste the image address in the dialog box that appeared. Enter.

    Do whatever the right click equivalent is if you are using an Apple device.

    God help you if you are using a Linux device and this is news to you.

    Sir, all I have access to at the moment is an iPad. I honestly don’t see how I can do that on my iPad I have tried. I could probably school you on effort though since I am a 13 time Ironman with a world ranking and I am going to the world championships in Kona. If you want new people to learn, you may want to consider friendly answers or better yet don’t comment. I have been a mentor to many in triathlon. I bet you have been a mentor to no one.

    On the iPad, while the photo of your watch in question is on the screen, press the home button and the power button at the same time. You will then get a screen capture that you can post, just like the one below

    Part 2, take a breath, if the long-time members had a dollar for each new member who posted a thread that does not confirm to the posting guidelines, they could all buy new speedmasters, and a ‘68 mustang to drive them home in.

    Hang in there :thumbsup:, but know that the hazing is never over ;) honest feedback is how this free service (aka awesome community) works. To paraphrase efauser , much effort must be done in order for everyone to learn and benefit.

    welcome.....if efauser didn't like you you'd be "disappeared" by now, he knows people, say no more.

    We're (mostly) a civil bunch, but a stumble or two is how we all learn.

    In fact I want dibs on that one if it ever doesn’t strike your fancy anymore. I really love that dial and the condition.

    So you want to switch it to a stainless bracelet or was it originally a stainless. I have one and have the original band which the watch is secured to with a bezel but damn it took a while to find an omega bezel and it wasn’t cheap. The 521 is that mechanical or automatic. Mine is mechanical which I don’t mind at all as it’s supposed to be a solid movement. I was thinking about that stainless set up as well. There is a guy on esty who sells them and if the fit is off he will take them back. I wish I could give you better info, if you dig around I’m sure you will find it. Here is what my style looks like. I really dig the second hand 3F48ABAA-E737-4A03-9253-2A8DA91F6380.jpeg

    Tigeranteater,


    Thanks, green is unique/uncommon in my travels.

    Great, and very comfortable original bracelet, too.
