My youngest daughter has (and wears) this hand-wound 1970s Certina, which used to belong to my Great-uncle. She loves it!

You have expensive taste Bernie! ;) I’m sure you’ve seen the prices those models fetch these days...

My only Certina given to me by my Dad. Argonaut 220 with automatic cal 25-651.

Found in a shoebox in his attic after 30 or so years and started running immediately, albeit a little slow.
Has sadly been mistreated by some heavy handed watch "repairer" at some point during it's life.

Could really do with a service and the date spring needs repairing (common issue with these I read).

IIRC, Sinner also has one of these in excellent condition.

I had a lovely ‘Waterking’ come and go from my collection. But am looking for one of the day date varieties to replace it. Some very nice watches.
