    I picked up this fairly rare Omega Dynamic Third Generation Japan only about a month ago and need help pricing. I'm new to the forum so I appreciate any info. Thanks so very much!
    My apologies for the iPhone pics!

    Can we get a few more pics? Some of the back and from the top down on the dial to see the "Swiss" logo? Can you get the back off? Did you get this from your uncle? ;)

    I've seen the Japanese models on eBay quite regularly and they got some really nice features like textured dials etc but they are only worth the same as the standard models I'm afraid. They look like the fore runner to the Aqua terra range Instances but about the same value as the standard models. In the UK the prices start at £500 and top out at £750

    I found out a little info here on the Omega Dynamic third generation etc.. Cool military style with leftover dynamic calendar numbers.

    However, no pic of my watch. Trying to get production numbers. Possibly under 1500 units? Would be pretty cool! Here are a few more pics. Tripod this time. Huge difference.
    Thanks!!

    I used the bracelet reference to back track on the Omega Extranet, and found several models that use the same case, but have different dials. I looked through the 7 different watches that came up in my search, and found the version that has the same dial and hands as your watch does. Your watch appears to be this:

    WATCH SPEC DYNAMIC GENTS - MABEL | 52035000

    On the page that the link you posted goes to, it shows a watch that is very much like an old WWW model, with the broad arrow mark on it. That one is listed as a Japanese only edition on the Extranet:

    WATCH SPEC DYNAMIC GENTS JAPON | 52025100

    Not sure that the one you have was strictly limited to Japan based on what I am seeing. Parts are still available for it, so dial, hands, and even the case, and it has a Cal. 1108 inside, so an early version of an Omega execution of the ETA 2892.

    I like it - nice and clean dial and hands. They also make these in white, silver, and blue with the same dial pattern and layout as yours is. They also made one with a black dial with waves, almost like a modern Seamaster dial. And then the one shown on that page you linked to with the funky blue dial.

    Hope this helps. With a reference number you should be able to search completed auction on eBay to see what these go for.

    Cheers, Al
