路You like the watch so much you got 2?!?
By mistake, they were on pre order in Europe and I just could not cancel on time. Had to buy both.

路I'm a big Certina fan, but I can't understand why it's not getting much love these days. Anyone explain?

路Unidentified flying wrist watch....Being a Sci - fi fan of a certain age (UK bias), I found this brand via the early seventies show UFO. Some funky watches to match equally funky outfits.... and any excuse to find a new picture of Gabrielle Drake. This website has all the watches:-

路My first Certina! Far from perfect, with some damage to the bezel insert and crystal, some polishing to the case, lume mostly gone from the dial and some funny lume added to the bezel insert (easy to remove if I want to bother with it), but I'm happy to finally join the club, and I like the look overall. What do you think? Please excuse the over-enthusiastic photo deluge.

Nice! 馃憤 It's pretty uncommon to see one of these babies complete with its original bracelet and clasp! Cheers 馃榾

Well, this one has a late clasp (@Dan S, could you share what year of production the clasp is? Should say on the inside part), but the bracelet + endlinks aren't correct - unless Certina started using a different supplier at some point.
It's a very cool watch, @Dan S 馃憤
Looks like it has had its luminous material removed at some point, which is exceedingly common on these. On the 3-6-9-12 markers there should be a raised lume inlay, which is very often either missing or replaced. My theory is that the heavy application was very fragile (perhaps more sensitive to moisture?) and therefore was removed/replaced entirely during services.
It's a "T" dial which is a bit less common than those without the T (my observations only), but what this T stands for no-one seems to know. A few times I've seen the model for sale as "DS T". If you could share your serial number (if still visible), it would be great 馃榾
