    Dear OF,

    As part of my collection downsizing I am offering an acquisition from fellow forum member @ConElPueblo from a little while back. Their previous sales post is here.

    Case Size: 36mm
    Lug Width: 18~mm

    The Certina DS has seen light use and additions during my time on the wrist. It has received a few more case and crystal swirls, though overall the watch still presents very nicely. The dial has seemingly patinated a bit more, though the sunburst and blue hands keep it looking good.

    I swapped out the generic crown for a correctly signed one, as well as adding a genuine vintage red Certina leather strap and stainless steel buckle. This strap fits perfectly into the larger-than-18mm lugs.

    It has not been serviced in my possession, though has been running quite well and was given a checkover by my watchmaker, a former Certina employee. Automatic and manual winding work smoothly and the watch wears very nicely on a 6.5" (17cm) wrist.

    As I hope this will go to a fellow enthusiast, and to respect Troel's wishes, I am pricing this watch at the original value plus the costs of the crown, band and buckle. My asking price is $375AUD including tracked shipping from Australia.

    Please see photos for further condition, and don't hesitate to ask me any questions via PM. No returns are available unless the watch is grossly misrepresented.

    Thank you OF and the wonderful community here!
    Regards,
