Boom!
I haven鈥檛 realised how large the one on top was, until i tried it on at the chrono24 gtg last Friday.
Also, that faded black grey-ish dial - red bezel combo is something to die for.
Not mentioning the military provenance of some (Hungarian helicopter pilots in the 70鈥檚).
Oh yeah and the V72.
Ok, I鈥檇 better stop popularising before I grab one myself

路I do, I do! I love Certinas. I only have 1 so far, but am planning for more. I love the sharpness of the colors, even though they are vintage.

路I would dibs that one in a sec, i think you did good. You never see them-lucky bastard馃榾
If the watch works and only needs a service, I think you got it at around "market price" (what ever that is...), possibly a bit low. These later, more modern styled Certina divers aren't really that sought after, but their time could well come 馃榾

Thanks, guys!
I love the watch and I think it's a keeper.
I'll send it to be serviced and cleaned next week.
I bought another Certina thats coming some time next week, a Biostar Electronic. I know i overpaid for that one, but I had to have it 馃榿
I'll post some pictures as soon as it arrive 馃榾

路Seeing that I didn't catch that pretty interesting DS Diver that @palkastu found recently (don't forget my dibs! 馃榿 ), I was very happy when @gop76 pointed me in the direction of the model that Palkastu will probably want to "build" of it, the non-diver version 5601 003. This (and nine to eleven other DS') is on my list of must-have DS' that I actively hunt, so I quickly struck a deal with the seller for his rather sorry looking specimen...
I figured that the dial and hands looked relumed so I would relume them again to a more suiting tone... And get the crown replaced while I was at it.
I was in for a bit of a surprise when I opened the parcel it came in today...
It's a until now unknown (to me at least!) gold-plated version! The markers and hands are gold-coloured, matching the case and I believe the lume to be original.
Not what I expected, but interesting and fun nonetheless. Now the search goes on for a better case and a correct crown... And a 5601 003!
Btw, the caseback is unfortunately too polished to make out the serial and reference - sadly.

Does anyone know about this reference? @Bill Sohne? It turns out it is not yellow, but red gold plated... Another first for me. As it is red gold plated with a steel caseback and equipped with a cal. 25-45 the ref will read 5604 XXX; the real mystery is figuring out what the last three digits are.

As is the caseback on this one. As it's a cal. 25-45, it would have said "patent pending" there too, before it had been worn/polished off along with the serial.
Maybe @alinghi74 ?
That's the user name! Couldn't for the life of me remember...

Pat pending should be marked on inside of caseback

路I am thinking about picking up a Certina, many of them are really striking looking, I just need to make some room first.
