@Vitezi Thank you very much! I have a cousin who is a watchmaker and will try to arrange a meeting with him today. Unfortunately, we live in different countries but we're in the same one at the moment!
@GuiltyBoomerang Thank you very much for you very valuable inputs! I'm glad to know that the crown might be original - I will do a bit more research on this and keep you posted on this. Regarding servicing, you mentioned exactly the things I had in mind. I don't fancy the idea of a replating - I want to keep the watch as original as I found it.
@kkt Thanks for the great advice! I will not wear it then.
@Canuck Thanks for your great input on the movement! I had a look online and found a youtube clip of a Certina very similar to mine with a 28-10. It has same hands and a very close serial number in the 4.5. - 5.0 range that dates the watch to the same year, 1963 (
). Hopefully I will post a shot of the movement later today! Interesting is that there is a different logo on watches that are very similar and from the same year!? Congrats for your two Certinas! Do you have pictures?
@Alpha Thank you very much! I hope to never find myself in position in which I have to sell this watch.
