Omega Geneve Dyanmic Auto (any experience)

Bullseye1

I've seen a few of these on the boards lately and I think they are rather funky in a nice way. Any of you guys any experience with these? I think a good one can be got for around the €400 mark.

Funnily enough I'm thinking about buying one. Going to inspect a few in shops over the weekend. The thing that concerns me is the strap - I have very large wrists and generally require extended straps. Not sure how this works with the unusual Geneve strap.

I'd be interested to see how you get on. I really like the combination in the picture above. Another one that really interests me is the Flightmaster.

Funnily enough the one I'm interested in is similar but doesn't seem to be in as good condition as your photo. Where did you find that one?

I think it was posted on TZ. One sold there recently. Let me find a link.

Here was an non-date which has just sold.

I love the look of the flightmaster. I read some rumours that there may be a new one released. Don't know how true that is.

The original would take some beating for looks. Would certainly be interested to see what Omega come up with.

I have one of the no-date manual wind models. I pounced on it as the previous owner (on TZ-UK) had previously put it through STS (Swiss Time Services) via a relative. I wanted a certain level of re-assurance as these can have problems; being a front-loader can be problematic and only Bienne and STS have the ability to refinish the case back to original spec. Mine came on a strap but I purchased a NOS bracelet off Ebay; that's not without risk either.

They come up on Ebay regularly and many go for half the price quoted by the OP; it just might take a couple of attempts before you get a good one.

Finally this may be of interest. http://www.mediafire.com/file/knazxmyqdzd/Omega%20Geneve%20Dynamic%20I%20.pdf

Very nice. Looks great on the bracelet. It's a pretty big size. How comfortable do you find it to wear?

CarltonBrowne

Absolutely fine; I've only really started to wear bracelets in the last 18 months but I've no problem with this one.
