路Now that is a ticker of many a box. 馃檮 Thanks for posting.
Indeed. That is a cool watch. Can you share a few more photos? Love the Rotring 600 with it - I love mine - vintage black - a gift from my uncle.

Damn, that blue dial is hypnotic. You don鈥檛 see many of these around. Lovely!

路Here's a basic question: is Certina pronounced with an emphasis on the first or second syllable? Certain-a or Cer-teen-a?

路I've always pronounced it as the latter. CerTEENa.
Added a second "coffin dial" to the collection. Bought the dial loose, had hands that are close enough to original to make it work, and already had a spare patent pending case and 25-45 movement. Fits right in with the rest of my "fancy" DS models.

路Hi guys
I picked up this DS earlier in the week, although I was unsure as to whether the hands are original/correct for this watch. Any feedback would be much appreciated. It鈥檚 a 25-66 calibration. 5201-013 reference.
Regards
Chris

Ehm, perhaps?
There is a series of (mostly) manual wind DS' with pretty funky dials like this one where the hands seem to follow different rules than normal DS'. I have one with golden sword hands which aren't found on other references, so this one could be good? The seconds hand matches the blued indicies (first time I've seen that on a DS!), but the gold minute and hour hands seem a little out of place.
I wouldn't change them.
Incidentally, notice that there isn't a T after the SWISS MADE even though the dial and hands have luminous compound? This is the case with others of the "funky dial" type 馃榾
Let me know if it comes up for sale at some point!
EDIT: Just noticed you called it a 5201-013... You mean -012, right?

As ever, thanks for the feedback. The case back states -013. Does that arise any concerns?

Sorry, I got my references mixed up... I don't think there are any issues.

路Hi guys
Just came across this Rodania watch for sale and saw it had the exactly same numbered indexes as an early DS. Is there any connection between the companies? Otherwise I gather it鈥檚 the same dial manufacturer that they鈥檝e both used.

That case looks remarkably similar to one of my Certinas.

路This is the first non-omega watch in my collection. It鈥檚 a crazy watch but quite wearable and very enjoyable. Bought it late last year and it鈥檚 now ready for the wrist after some TLC.
