·Funky looking watch I really like those. I don’t think there is a dynamic model I don’t like

·It's already vintage. It will soon become rare. Good combination .

·Just timed it 25 seconds fast for the day. Not bad for a 23 year old watch that has never been opened up and serviced. I think I’ll just wear it til it stops. Then try and service it locally(never to omega again). Sent a nice watch in and failed pressure test so they wanted to recase it, put a new dial and swap the movement.... what the hell man

·That’s an interesting dynamic. I don’t think I’ve seen one like that before.
It is a 1990 limited release Omega Dynamic Targa Florio. I find the dial color fun and cheerful 😀

If you know it has not been serviced in 23 yrs and are planning on wearing it in your daily rotation, you may damage what looks to be a very nice watch. Think of it like running a car without changing the oil and driving it until the engine seizes. While you would have saved the cost of the preventive maintenance, the cost of repairing the engine will likely be far more than what you saved by not changing the oil.

·Fair point but no real damage can be done— cheap movement with cheap parts. I Timed today and only 2 seconds fast. Service recommendations are bullshit. In the right circumstances, synthetic oils can last decades. I had a 30 year old Rolex still going when I sold it—wore it for a decade. I really only do a preventative maintenance on a watch that is hard to get parts for.

If you ever intend in future to sell a watch on here that comment above may haunt you.

·Cheap movement with cheap parts? Err no. The omega specific parts are not cheap any longer because they are in very short supply outside authorised channels, and even the plain ETA bits are in shorter supply and more expensive than they used to be. If you think you can magic up a new 1108 or even plain 2892 for peanuts you will be disappointed. And if you do drop in a plain 2892 you will be slicing a bit chunk off it’s value. I would suggest your watchmaker ain’t all that on the ball.

·Interesting because the 1108 is literally a 2892 with omega engraved on the rotor. I can buy 2892 parts relatively inexpensively. If you get parts from omega, they will just be eta parts. Literally nothing has been done to the 1108. 2892s are a 300 dollar movement. I feel on a common movement it is cheaper to service as needed rather than every 5 on the dot. All just a personal preference I guess.

··Oooo subtitles!No one is disputing that the 1108 is basically a 2892 at heart but I think you are ignoring the bespoke finishing and serial number stamping. Personally I think $300 (for a base 2892) is pretty steep vs what such a movement would have been 3-5 years ago and you would knock that value and more off your Dynamic if you did drop in a generic ETA. Hey maybe I'm being hypocritical. I wore my D3 for about 10 years before it was serviced, but back when I got mine it was a £300/$400 watch so there was little to lose, now they are $1000 so keeping it healthy it matters more. I still have mine.
