I believe it is the original strap, and has been on the watch since it left the factory. The sturdiness of the strap is the one thing that has surprised me about the watch. It’s quite a heavyweight, in a Breitling kind of way.

Just please let me know when you decide you have too many watches again, because I could certainly imagine you'll get a Puritanical cleaning streak some time again in the future.
The best predictor of future behaviour is past behaviour. 
Yes, the Dynamic is a ‘just because’ watch, and the ‘because’ is that it makes me smile.
This is the official family photo at the moment -
My itsa bitsa Mission Timer was elbowed aside when the Breitling quartz turned up, and will probably be passed on at some point. Plus, I have the vintage Memovox, the IWL watch and a G-Shock.
I have a twelve-slot watch box and get twitchy when there’s more than a couple in the bottom row. Giving away two G-Shocks in the recent raffle was a great help.

Thanks!
It is indeed like getting a new watch. I’m breaking in a twenty-two year old strap.

I tend to agree--unless you run into another watch lover. No one has ever commented on any watch I've worn, except one--a hygienist at the dentist's office who liked my (not particularly expensive) WUS tourbillon...
The trick with more expensive watches is to just wear them anyway--no point in worrying about dings. As you said, if it makes you smile, regardless of the price, wear it. Otherwise what's the point of having it? It's not like they're paintings to be hung on a wall...

Nice one Alan!
A great find in fabulous condition, and good to see how the ‘family’ are doing too
Enjoy your new watch!
It's the final countdown! PM me before they're all gone!

Re people noticing your watch, a guy at a bookshop, my WIS doctor and my old boss noticed mine
My boss looked at me funny, like it wasn’t what he was expecting me to wear, but didn’t say anything
It's the final countdown! PM me before they're all gone!

I've always loved the Chrono version of this watch, and had completely forgot that it was available as a 3-hander!
