OK, I am getting major envy for both of these straps! @malilis and @The Toyman - care to share where you acquired these? My brown leather looks dull by comparison!

Nice examples.

mine in green with original bracelet


I’m not usually a fan of the bull's eye dials, but I’ll make an exception for that! I’ve seen yours a couple of times, but it's the only one of these I’ve seen.

lovely piece! 👍

Hi, I got the light tan strap from Etsy.com, just look for Omega straps and you should find them.

Hi, I got the light tan strap from Etsy.com, obviously aftermarket but the quality is faultless, plus it comes with a gold plated 'Omega' buckle. Just look for Omega straps and you should find them.

That’s good. I like the colour of that leather as it gets close to the “biscuit coloured” Corfam that I’ve seen on Dynamic advertising from the 1960s. My retaining ring for the strap is a little temperamental, so it would be good to know if your strap is thin enough to be equivalent to the original straps. Looks like it fits pretty well...

Good evening!
My strap is custom made by Andrea at MartuLeather (Chile). Pay a visit to her website, you will be very pleased ! High quality very reasonable prices. I guess she must still have the template I sent to her to have my strap produced. Alternatively, there is this UK fellow that is selling straps for Dynamic watches on Ebay .. easy to find, really not expensive but of course not the quality of a strap made by Martu !
Good luck !

Great content guys
As a new owner of his and hers Dynamics that need a little care could you help me with likely cost of glass replacement and if this can be done without specialist tools?
Thanks

Hi ! To replace the Xtal is easy .. any watchmaker can do ! The difficult part is to secure the Xtal ! If you go to Omega official, to have an original part (with the logo), they more than likely will ask you to do the work in their shop, they will tell you it needs an overhaul .. etc .. and you will end up spending big bucks ! at least that's my experience in my part of the world ! You can also find an aftermarket part and get it installed by your watchmaker .. much much cheaper ! only thing is the aftermarket part shall probably sit higher on the watch which I personally find very regrettable ! So, here you go .. let us know what route you take ! Good luck !

Yes, it's exactly the same and the fit is perfect. I bought it about 2 years ago but I'll try and find the link.....

It's easy if they have the correct Omega tool to remove the old crystal, and more importantly, to correctly fit the new crystal.
Probably Omega Tool 102 and Tool 107 for these two.
Using a generic crystal lift tool you may be able to get the old one off, but will struggle to get a new one fitted properly.
