Hey guys,

I am selling my Certina DS from 1959/1960 with the rare and sought after Diver Dial.

Case:
Case is in good condition. Crown is marked, caseback is the early non-turtle "Swiss Patent Pending" one. Serial and reference number are visible. The Plexi is thick and without scratches (NOS one).

Dial and hands
The dial is spectecular. The radium filled markers are all original and the geiger has a party on the display 😁. Minute hand is without lume. I wanted to restore it in the first place, but decided not to do to remain originality. Its the same dial that was used with the early DS Bezel-Divers.

Movement
Movement is the Cal 25-45. Everything is working, Service history is unknown.

Bracelet
GF Certina DS bracelet in used condition.

Pricewise I'd like to have 2.800€ 2.400€ or best offer for the watch. Watch is located in Germany, but worldwide shipping isn't a problem. Shown Box is not part of the sale.



Cheers Nico

I did some work to the watch this weekend. Changed to a better caseband (same Reference, so absolutly identical) and changed the crystal to the NOS one.
