WTT : CERTINA DS-2 Automatic Certidate

As part of the ongoing cull of my collection,here is another great watch for sale / trade

This is a scarce Certina DS-2 Automatic Certidate with a fantastic blood red/burgundy dial.

These were made between 1968 and 1975 and were famous for their shockproof movements.

I've owned this one for about 5 years now.

It keeps accurate time to about 20 secs per day.

A common fault on these was the date wheel mechanism....this one has been sorted and works fine.

Case dimensions 38.5 x 42 x 12mm

The caseback on these is fantastic with the deep relief wavy pattern surrounding the famous Certina turtle symbol.

This watch is a good,honest,wearable example.
It looks great on the wrist,but at circa 40 years old it does have a few dings and scratches,and some loss of paint to the hands...but nothing too detrimental imo.

If you want a perfect one,then they are available for about $700.

WOULD LIKE TO TRADE FOR SEIKO SUMO OR SAMURAI....OR ORIENT MAKO (MUST BE ON BRACELET AND BLUE DIALLED VERSIONS PLEASE)

Please PM any questions.
