Been offered a lovely Certina, what would you do?

It's always intrigued me that women's watches get so little uptake in the collecting world especially as the engineering required is a whole level higher than that of men's versions due to the miniturisation required.

In recent times I have bought quite a few high specification vintage women's watches, some I post on here many I don't but it always stands out the lack of likes you get when I post photos of them.

Oh well my wife loves them and the pricing is unbelievably low even for the numerous Omega women's watches I have purchased.

Today I was offered this Certina 27 Jewel automatic but as I explained to my watchmaker ( who owns it ) his service cost would be more than twice the value of the watch in good working service including a fresh service, and my WM service costs are extremely low to me ( high volume rates).

I am still considering it, but it would certainly not be an economic proposition unless I was able to locate and buy the matching male version to make a complete set ( similar to a Titoni Cosmo Queen purchase in another recent post).

Sounds like the name of an alternative lifestyle bar.

Pass.

Yes its great when they look substantially the same as per my aforementioned Titoni Cosmo Queen.
The Cosmo King is off the net ( not mine) and there probably were closer editions to mine made.
