Anyone ever own a 3rd gen dynamic?

Post by sierra11b » Tue Mar 07, 2017 6:10 pm

They seem like pretty cool watches at fantastic prices today.

My concern is serviceability once Omega finally put the failed 'dynamic' name to bed. From my reasearch they released a limited panda chrono version which may have been a means to exhaust surplus.

But pound-for-pound the chrono and non-chrono versions seems like a steal today, assuming they can be serviced. But I'm more interested in the non-chrono with the omega 1108 version of the 2982-A2.

And at 36.5mm, although small for many, a cool alternative to the IWC Mk. XVII (with a lot going for it) and arguably the bastard modern version of the early omega arrows. Seems like a cool NATO wearer for the smaller wrist folk.

Love it. What's your take on overall value and serviceability?

Honestly, it is super underrated. Like a Hamilton Khaki, they look okay in pics but in person they are a super nice watch for the price. I was impressed by both of them. And they are all dial so they look more like a 38-39mm. It would be a stellar one piece nato watch.

There's a serviced one on recon and toppers has one listed. They look nice but they aren't for me, don't need another 36mm watch.

As far as I know their movement is based on the ETA and therefore you will be able to find people to service these. Ofrei even has parts like dial and hands. I assume that they also have gaskets and crystals. I saw a couple of these on sale recently, although their price used to be more affordable. But I personally always liked these.

Got one but the crown thread is stripped. Bought it used here in Japan for $800 at the time. Great watch IMO. Gotta see if the crown or tube thread is shot....

I have both on bracelet. Wonderful watches very easy to read. The only issue I have had is the size, if they were just a little bigger. Almost forgot the bracelet on the non-Chrono is a bit of a hair puller.
