I am trying to find something not to like about this one, and failing miserably.

·Finally got this amazing gem from the watchmaker...
It actually took him a lot of time to remove the links from the 6300 bracelet..a watchmaker nightmare as he said
Doas anybody has the same bracelet ?
Just love how classy it looks with that red dial.
Sorry for the picture, I definitly have trouble taking good pictures without reflection ^^

·Probably Certina's very own DS bracelet.
Which unfortunately seems not very well suited to size adjustments, BTW - can't get it small enough for my thin arm 🙁.
This bracelet seems indeed to be made by Certina for the DS1, DS ph200 and DS ph500 - the two divers having slight different (and also unfindable ^^) end links
I think it's nicknamed "the caterpillar"
It can of course be adjusted (I did it on mine) but you have to go to your local watchmaker. It's a real special bracelmet to adjust i gotta admit, and only the third watchmaker I went to managed to adjust it.
@philby you'll be able to enjoy that bracelet don't you worry 😉

For the first DS line Certina used two different bracelets. The first type (1959 - ~1965) was the supernice g&f. The second (1965 - 1967) was the one you showed.
so probably the wrong bracelet for this specific watch (to be correct).
But anyway. Here a little guide for removing links:
1. open the clasp
2. use a tweezer. Remove a spring (on the insight of the bracelet (on the cover plate side!) ! Max 4 links removable!
3. make a right angel with the bracelet (on the place you removed the spring). Then you can release the link
4. mount it in reverse wise...
5. good luck!

i purchase the watch head only today and put it on this bracelet i had in my box 😀
The watch came on an original vintage Certina leather strap, with a wrong buckle though.. 🤔
Luckily i have some old buckles in my box somewhere 😀

·Back from the watchmaker, the cal 25-651 cleaned and oiled and ticking away happily.
Looking at my DSs, I'm wondering if these cases are supposed to be so different - the bezel looks quite a bit wider on the dark-dialled one, so maybe it's been polished while still keeping sharp-looking edges?

·Thoughts from the more certina-experienced, fellow OF members?
The watch is a reference 5601 112 with cal. 26-65 inside.
What has me wondering, is that it doesn't say "automatic" underneath "Certina" on the dial.
Literally any other DS with an auto movement (date or no date) that I own or have seen, do have the "automatic" on their dials.

·I'm thinking about buying one of these if I can get it to Canada for a reasonable price. What do you think of this homage to the Bond Seamaster?
