    Hi guys,
    Selling another very nice watch, this time a great looking Certina Argonaut 200M.
    Caliber 25-651 in a super clean condition, just fully serviced by my watchmaker.
    I give a 12 month guarantee on the movement.

    Case is very nice condition with the original sunburst perfectly visible.
    Of course some minor scratches for normal use but nothing major.
    My personal opinion is that the case has never been polished. I have enough experience with Heuer Autavia cases to know how an original sunburst looks like. Of course there are a few very good case refurbishers but I still think this one has never been redone.

    No doubt dial and hands are just fabulous.
    Both dial and hands still have the original tritium. I included some pics under UV light.
    The orange chapter and minute hand are still incredibly bright.
    Bear in mind that that orange is very hard to capture in pictures. In real it even looks more fluo orange.

    Serial no. 7782738
    Case no. 5801-223
    Size: 39 mm without crown
    Date: approx 1970
    plastic crystal in very good condition.

    This is becoming a pretty hard to find watch from a great watch company.
    Certina made great looking, excellent quality sports watches with awesome in-house movements. Caliber 25-651 is a high grade movement. No doubt Ceretina is one of the most underrated watch companies. Try to find an Argonaut in this condition. I am pretty convinced you will not find one in similar condition for this price.

    Price: 1250 euros ( included fully insured shipping and the brown strap from the pictures )

    Payment: Bank transfer or PayPal ( +4% )

    ( I give a full refund in case of any problem or if the watch would not be as described )

    Friend from work @Patg bought this watch and is as happy as a fat kid in a candy store.

    Not that many posts so I am posting a big thank you for him
