So I just bought an Omega Dynamic Chronograph. Love this watch, but I really want to use the factory watch band. Does anyone know where I can find links to extend this band to fit my 8inch wrist?

 

Try your nearest Omega dealer or boutique. They are likely still available. Regardless of the horrible cost, they will now be cheapest since the scalpers are in full force on things this.

I had one of those, nice watch, flakey movement.

 

I had the same issue recently but with a little patience I was able to pick up from ebay.
Not cheap though (about £70 for a double link set)

Reference is 114ST1570

seller was luxury_links_uk

 

Why was movement flakey? Didnt find anyone saying that when I was researching the watch.

 

It’s a compound chrono like the Speedy Reduced. Not ideal really. Mine took a few visits to the watchmaker to make it run right. My experience with modular movements is such I won’t go back, I’ve had 2 and both caused me issues.

 

Thank you so much for the part number! That will make it much easier to find now.

 

These type of movements have a reputation for reliability issues. The upside of this is it can mean they are more affordable if you are willing to take a risk.
Personally speaking I have had 2 or 3 watches with similar movements with no problems at all. In fact my Dynamic is probably the most accurate in my watch box. Maybe I have just been lucky and shouldn't tempt fate.

My Dynamic says hello

 

How's the old girl holding up?

 

Still love it. And thanks to you a regular wearer that has muscled its way in to my rotation.
Definitely a keeper
Trust you are well?

 

When I was first into Omega and figured I'd never be able to get a Speedmaster I was looking at these. At the time the routinely sold for $600-800 and were a bargain. Not so much any more.

 

Man Ive been searching all over online without any luck. Any advice?

 

Have you found out if they are still available new from omega? Calling @Archer

 

Omega has them - call your local Omega AD, OB, or service center, and ask if you can buy some. These are not restricted parts, so you can buy them directly from Omega.

 

Far be it from me to say I told you so.

But I told you so.

 

Interesting to see a different set of subdial hands than the OP, i wonder if there were different configurations or someone replace at service..

 

Subtly diffferent sub-dial and hands actually. This is a known variant. I believe mine is the earlier version with the Tritium lume dial and super-luminova hands

 

Agreed, there are at least 2 dials known, and that is excluding stuff like the Targa Florio which are wildly different. Note the later SL lume one has the 3 minute telephone timer marks as seen on many 40s chronos, they are missing on the earlier tritium dial.

I don't like the spear sub dial hands on the OP watch. In my experience, the mixed rounded yellow/straight white set was used on all original Dynamic chronographs. A quick google search shows nothing like those on the OP watch and mine were nothing like that as far as I remember. I think those are not original.

Here is mine (now gone) later SL dial, normal hands:

 

You are going to hate me Gav, but I just absorbed your last sentence about mixed dial and hand lume. I can't see that myself. Either you have both tritium and the hands haven't faded as much, which is typical of a late 90s Omega (see Bond SMPs) and is my guess or your hands have been swapped at service. No way they used mixed lume on any watch. If it is any consolation, if you do a google search as I did earlier, often the hands and dial fade dont match on the tritium variants and I think that suggests differential fade as very likely for this model.

 

I concentrated on the dial differences without giving much thought to the hands until you mentioned them. I suspect you are absolutely right in that they are replacements as I cannot find other examples either

 

I am no expert but I bought the watch off @ConElPueblo and he seemed to think the combination was as i had stated and, if I remember rightly, this possibly came about due to the date of issue (1997) and the swap over from tritium usage at that time.
By the way I love it either way so no bad feelings.
