Start of the honeymoon phase!! First day with the Certina DS PH200

This is the most recent addition to my collection. I wanted a watch that envoked those vintage feels, but was very much a modern watch. I think this ticks the box. I absolute love the dial, and the fauxtina on the bezel with the domed sapphire really hit the vintage notes. I’m not usually a fan of open caseback diver watches but it works with this.

Enjoying the nato strap but have ordered the Certina leather strap - I think that will elevate the look.

Happy saturday

Very nice combination on this NATO strap, congrats 🎉

I had interests in this watch for some time but was intimidated by the case size & L2L dimensions. I tried on a 43mm Hamilton khaki scuba last week & was surprised by how well my wrist held up to it. Made me second guess my curiosity about this one. I think I’d put it on a mesh bracelet. I’m a sucker for those darn things.

I had my concerns about the size but tried it in before buying, and it sat very nicely on the wrist. I think I’ll be ordering a mesh bracelet down the line, love those too.

I can see that (FF Bezel). The hands and dial is definitely what caught my attention first.

Looks fantastic!

Very sexy watch from a brand that doesn't get nearly the attention they deserve, but I think that might be changing

It looks like someone bled all over your floor.

I hope so - they’ve always been solid and at the price point they’re punching way above💪🏼

Congratulations mate, very nice and welcome to Club Certina!

I run mine on the bracelet, but haven’t tried it on the NATO yet. It certainly looks the goods!

At some point I’ll swap it over but for now I’m really enjoying the Milanese.

Plenty of options with this range.

Hi @ChrisL ! How are you? Did you manage to get a new bracelet for your #ph200m? And in general, what's your feedback after 3 months of use?
