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.
I believe you dont need a particular tool to remove the Xtal .. only a bit of film and a seringue to blow the Xtal out .. then to replace the new one yes a « potence » shall be useful ..

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 !

Yes, nice ... I happen to get a Martu strap for mine ...
Hi
Would you recommend your dealings with Andrea as she requires payment in advance to make two straps for me?
Thank you

Hello !
Payment in advance is how it works in the horological world !!
Andrea is 100% trustworthy ! I already bought 8 or 9 straps from her, never a problem .. it happened once that the post office in her place lost the package .. she produced the strap again and sent it !
If you really want to be on the safe side, you can pay via PayPal business (not between friends) pay the 4% additional and be totally protected.
It takes generally 8 to 10 days to produce the straps, you receive a mail advising of the shipping and giving you the tracking number. After that, it will take 2 to 3 weeks time for the delivery.
Let us have some pics of your new straps !
Cheers,

This is an excellent way to do damage to the movement and dial.

The proper way is with a Omega crystal ring compression tool (Seiko makes them too). Tool 107/102 refer to the plastic wrenches that were included with the Dynamics originally so the owner could change the straps.

I'm glad you posted some of these aftermarket straps, they look great. Most I've run into are just copies of the OEM ones.

By the way, I was still able to purchase OEM straps from CousinsUK last year, but they were about $110. I also own a couple of the Omega #27 deployant straps, though they're pricey if you can find them. Here's a picture. That's the red Tool 206 for strap changes, but again it's hard to find now.

Hi
Will post pictures of straps when back
Has anyone come up with a cheap product that mimics the quick change tool.
It’s beyond me but does anyone know a 3D printing co that could run off a few hundred ?
Price them at $25 max and who wouldn’t by one or two?
Cheers

Tool 107 and Tool 102 are for the crystal, the plastic wrench for the bracelet is Tool 206.
