Hi all

For sale is this gorgeous oversized vintage Certina automatic DS 288 sport divers model circa 1972/4 in minty condition with original signed Certina NSA bracelet. Featuring a massive 41x44 mm cushion shaped steel case with brushed and polished edges.

The watch is completely original and it's quite uncommon compared to other DS models as it was in production for only short period of time. It has the great wrist presence and the bracelet is full length + extension feature (my wrist is 18cm and the bracelet is to big for me)

The movement was serviced less than a year ago by my watchmaker and it's running well and keeping time but I have no pictures or papers to proof that.

I also recently bought an additional blue dial but the pegs are missing so some effort is needed for your watchmaker if you want to use it. I'll add it in the package as I don't have use for it anymore.

Oh shoot, I forgot to show the most important picture - the turtle back 😀. Thanks for the reminder @TimeODanaos. Here are some fresh pictures taken outside today and the backside of the blue dial as well.
