Hi , This is my first post on ΩF.As a newbie, looking for help from experts on few doubts that i have (might be lame, but better to ask than being an ignorant fool). I am planning to buy an Omega Dynamic Geneve.reading through posts about Dynamic and article from Desmond have been really helpful. https://omegaforums.net/attachments/omega-geneve-dynamic-i-pdf.459/ 1. Should i be concerned about condition of movement for this one 2. Any thing which should raise a red flag here http://www.ebay.com/itm/OMEGA-GENEV...VINTAGE1970-/252103557411?hash=item3ab28b0123Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network 3. More websites where i can look for Dynamic Geneve . At present hunting on Ebay/Chrono24 Please guide. Thanks
+1. Not a dynamics expert but that movement has been neglected and then raises alarm bells about the originality of the far better condition dial. check out the sale forums here, and if nothing watchrecon at least aggregates sellers from forums so you are more likely to be buying from a collector....
now thinking whether to buy it or not, as @Mothra said condition of movement and dial seems to be mismatch . Thanks guys , this really helps . Looks like i am in this for long haul and will keep an eye out on watchrecon as well.
I would pass on that one - when you start looking at new replacement parts for these movements you can easily run into several hundred dollars in parts...
Not trying to hijack the thread, mine has stopped working. The Crown winds but it doesn't run. If I move the hands the second hand will go for a few seconds Any ideas as to the problem ?
Also make contact with a good watch maker that knows Omega, preferably from this forum area permiting.
Is this the same watch with the one from the Ebay link? The movement on the posted one is dirty the eBay one is clean.
My bad Patrick, Pictures posted are from Chrono 24 , ebay one looks clean so was just thinking is it good to be true . Surely will post in Vintage forum , reading posts have taught one thing that here Dynamic experts can be really helpful
