FOR YOU CONSIDERATION IS A FUNKY AND BRUTISH 70s CERTINA DS-2 CHRONOLYMPIC PANDA RUNNING ON A COLUMN WHEEL VALJOUX 234
CASE: HEFTY ALL STEEL CASE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THIS STUD MEASURES A LARGE 42.6mm ACROSS CASE NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL SIGNED CROWN. THIS THING IS AN ABSOLUTE BEAST ON THE WRIST AND WEARS NICE AND LARGE. CLASSIC DS TURTLE CASEBACK DESIGN IS ALWAYS A CROWD PLEASER.
DIAL: THIS PANDA DIAL IS TONS OF FUN. CHECK OUT THAT FABULOUS SILVER FINISH WITH THOSE GNARLY BLACK SUBDIALS AND BLACK/WHITE HANDSET MAKING FOR THE ULTIMATE IN LEGIBILITY. DIAL IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH A MILD STAIN NEAR THE LOGO. THE RED CHRONO SWEEPER AND THE RED SUBDIAL ACCENTS ADD A NICE POP OF COLOR TO THIS OTHERWISE 2-TONE FACE. THE DATE WINDOW AT 6 IS A SUPER COOL DESIGN ELEMENT THAT ADDS A FUNKY TOUCH.
MOVEMENT: THIS BEAST IS POWERED BY THE LEGENDARY VALJOUX 234 WHICH IS THE HIGHER BEAT EVOLUTION OF THE VAL.23. ALL FUNCTIONS WORK PERFECTLY AND WATCH HAS BEEN KEEPING EXCELLENT TIME. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN BUT HAS BEEN RUNNING STRONG UNDER MY OBSERVATION.
THIS CERTINA COMES ON A VINTAGE 20mm CERTINA STRAP WITH SIGNED TANG. IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO PICK UP A SUMMER VINTAGE CHRONO BUT ARE CONCERNED THAT THE OLDER PIECES WEAR SMALL.....THIS IS YOUR GUY. THIS THING IS TOTALLY MASSIVE AND HEAVY-DUTY.
