This is reasonably priced and has a BIN price too. The case looks as though it’s had a bit of wear but it looks better than anything I’ve seen on eBay or Chrono24.

That case is very knackered...

Thanks for the heads up @Spruce.

@ConElPueblo i see a lot like this, I guess that’s the beauty of the DS, so tough they just keep going and soak up the wear and the knocks over the years. Finding Good condition examples can be a bit of a waiting game, these days. Being outside the EU now doesn’t help me either. Hey Ho!

As the example from @Spruce a lot of DS dresswatches are offered in Sweden on Tradera

https://www.tradera.com/search?q=certina ds&allowedBuyerRegions=sweden;nordic;eu;international

At prices around 150€ a purchase from outside the EU should be no problem IMO. Maybe some Swedish guys could help you if necessary...

Good luck!

Someone is selling a fabulous Certina DS dive watch on the sales forum.

I have two, an automatic and a manual. I bought the manual on Chrono24 for quite a reasonable price and pre-Brexit.
I bought the automatic on OF Private Sales, again for a fair price, but it needed a service, a rubber seal and the right hands (which I bought from @JimJupiter who, like @ConElPueblo knows a lot about Certina DSs).
@Passover is right about sourcing one of these in Scandinavia so good luck and just keep looking.

I have one that I don't seem to wear very often these days. Not actively looking to sell but if its of any interest let me now. Photos are ones I had still on my phone but can get better ones if required
