[raydin]

Looks nice with the orange dial and hand set....perhaps the dimensions are a little on large side?
Priced at CHF 895~

Looks great, but how thick is the case? The original was very thick I think.

[raydin]

I'd imagine this to be a chonkyboi also given the width

I have a ds action with one of those movements are it is the most accurate mechanical I have owned. 1 or 2 seconds a day I reckon

[misterzero]

Looks great and a reasonable price as well

Sad to see it is a screwdown caseback, when the orignal was a front loader (hence the facetted ring between crystal and bezel which they have kept for the looks).
Otherwise it looks very tidy

Phoenix do a really nice Black/Grey/Orange which I wear on my Ollech & Wajs - slimmer than a lot, and better proportioned stripes.

Thank you; that's lovely, classy and understated. Wallet opened....

Pleased it hit the spot. Look forward to seeing the pics.

What're your thoughts on this?

If you mean the O&W - had it since last September, and really can't fault it. Paid £900 brand new from Page & Cooper (lucky me). The level of detailing is quite superb - better than the previous generation of ownership. It's a very easy watch to live with - quite small at 40mm and certainly comfortable despite the long lugs that vex some people. It tends to be a High-Days-&-Holidays wear for me, as I want to keep it as tidy as possible. Keeper.

I’d love to see a profile pic. The current version was too flat and long for me sadly. This one looks like a cracker!

Take a picture and post it up if possible... would like to see a wrist shot... i do like the orange dial... something about orange and yellow dials :)

[E_2_Right-Force]

Shame they didn`t decide to re-issue the DS2 PH 1000M - i`d be up for one of those at this price!

[Omegamanic]

Hopefully a great used buy very soon :)

Got to be a better buy than a Doxa imho.

[RS404]

I've always wondered, is it pronounced Sertina or Chertina?

Vintage Certina divers look great, shame this one is on the large size rather than the more vintage sizes that are popular now.The case back on the original vintage DS is just brilliant.

[Mark lowman]

I’ve had a few Certina’s now and each time I’ve sold I’ve regretted it.
Very solidly built and whack in an 80hr power reserve what’s not to like.
Really you could buy this watch potentially try for a discount from a grey source and sell it back on with minimal loss . Accept with this one I’d break a habit and actually keep it.
For those who haven’t tried one on the Crown action is superb , built quality very good , lume is reasonable. All told a very good option

[benwisback]

Looks cool, good for the summer

Certina diver watches are an absolute bargain. Huge quality for not much money and they look fantastic.

I’m a big vintage and modern Certina fan. I think they knocked it out of the park with the first ph200m reissue while it’s on the large side it gave it mass appeal. Echoing previous sentiments on it holding its value and being complemented a lot.

With the ph500m reissue I think you miss the yellow of the tritium on an orange dial (as apposed to a black one) far more. Will have to wait and see this in person - would love to see any on the wrist if anyone picked one up?
