Omega Genevé Dynamic bracelet/link

rdegrassi · Fri. 8:46am

Hey!

So im trying to scour the world of watches of some new links or a new bracelet for my Omega Geneve Dynamic.

Now the one i have is fairly small and reaches i would say about 17cm around the wrist, which is okay, but i’d like to aquire either a new bracelet thats larger or an extra link.

Now when reading through various posts it seems the correct bracelets should be something like a 1317/378 or 1153/138.

Now to the question ahead.

Ok the photo you’ll see a picture of the bracelet and its number and it reads out DX.1381.770

Could someone explain why it differs so much from other serial numbers. Is this the correct original bracelet and where is the best place to find such links/bracelets?

Appreciate all answers and engagement in my post!

best

The dynamic is a little tougher to find a bracelet for, as the bracelet is VERY specific to the model. It doesn't really HAVE end-links, as the 'connection' point is actually part of the bracelet, instead of the watch, and there is a screw on-ring on the back of the watch that holds it all together. This makes bracelet/strap changes different. AND, it means the ID numbers (the bracelet number -slash- endlink) doesn't really apply?

As an example THIS is what your bracelet looks like (note this is missing a clasp, but it is what I found easy enough on ebay:

It allows straps that look like this (same as above, just a link I found on ebay):

FORTUNATELY there is a great aftermarket for these for some reason. There are quite a few companies that sell aftermarket versions of these straps (none I can give review of), but more importantly, plenty of leather straps (which, IMO, are WAY Better on these).

Oh okay i see, thank you for that explanation.

I did wonder if the connection point was part of the bracelet as well.

But i also see there is a pin at the connection point that maybe makes it possible to fit a new one in.

I found this on ebay as well, but im not sure it its legit or not https://www.ebay.com/itm/317715159860

Also do like the leather ones on this model i agree.

I don't believe those pins are supposed to be 'removable' there, but of course, anything is possible with the right tools.

No idea about the authenticity of that bracelet in the ebay link, though, I have my doubts.

I went through a dynamic phase, and know these quite well.

The bracelet on your watch is a replacement and not original to the watch. Both the bracket and bracelet appear to be aftermarket. The clasp appears to be from another model (1980s). The bracelet in the ebay listing is fake and similar to the one you have on your watch presently.

That being said, the bracelets are attached with small springbars to the bracket that fits into the watch. They can be removed and you sometimes see them for sale separately. If you need a genuine bracelet, it’s probably best to buy a complete one with the bracket or a junker dynamic with a good bracelet. Links can be a bit tricky to find, but in my experience even short gen. bracelets are bigger than 17cm.

Thank you for deeper info! Thats what i was considering now, to rather find a bracket/bracelet + clasp from a junk-Dynamic watch.
