Hello everyone ....



Been looking for one of these for a while 

This examples as used as intended .... Lots of wear and. A replacement crown ....  Notice the count down bezel like an early Seamaster 300 would have. 



Just driving into town and took a quick wrist shot.



First generation Certina DS dive watch w date.




Anyone else a fan of dive watches ?


Good hunting

Well, I think I can include myself into the diving watches fan... ;)
