My DS Pilot Quartz Chronograph that I've had since 2004. My first 'proper' watch, and I find it impossible to take a decent photo of it.
OK, I'll admit to having never owned a Certina (at least I don't think I have), despite often walking past Dipples in Norwich and being thoroughly taken by them. I haven't succumbed to wobbly wallet syndrome yet whilst looking through the window, but Marco's Precidrive that's currently on SC has really awakened my interest in Certinas.
I must say that I really like their quartz chronograph models, and not necessarily the high end stuff. These for example...
So, show me yours. Get me even more interested!

Looks good to me. That's in very good condition for a 2004, is it worn in rotation or are you just very careful?
I maybe don't wear it as much as a couple of other watches I have, but it does get its share. It's in decent nick because it was serviced 3 years ago after the crown broke off, so it was polished then.
I didn't know anything about watches when I bought it on a visit to Andorra, just that my dad had a Certina from the 70s that I'd always liked. In retrospect, I'm glad I chose it, it's a very decent watch.
I don't own a Certina , but I do like this one ...
Here is mine a DS-8.
Lovw the design and the high spec quartz movement, but I can't really deal with it being brown ..
Anyone got a grey they want to swap for it?

Can't fault this one at all though it's not getting worn much now so possibly on the way out shortly.
I had the Multi8 for a while
It had some very useful travel features (like T1 - T2 swap) and was well put together.

One terrible picture, but you can at least see what it is :)

I have to admit that I know nothing at all about Certina. But this dial strikes so much like IWC .
Bought mine off SC. Great watch, very well made and wearing mine a lot.
My Dad bought an Automatic Certina watch, in Zurich in the '60s, and wore it everyday for the rest of his life.
I still have it, lovely watch, and as good, if not better, than contemporary Omegas.
I think they are more popular in Europe where their marketing has a higher profile, through their association with Rallying and Skiing.
Friend of mine wears one of these day to day, and a Daytona for best.
Been into watches for decades and never owned a Certina. Not a conscious decision, just never happened yet.
Bit late to the Certina party, just getting round to switching from Photobucket.

I don't own this, but something about it is really appealing to me, and it is so far from my usual tastes you wouldn't believe.
Very nice!

My Brother has this One, worn every day.
He rates it.
Has been back twice in the 5 years he's owned it though.

Some lovely pieces there. The bracelet for my DS-8 has come in today so I'm going to collect it later. That'll make it way more wearable for me as I'm not a leather fan (unless handmade).
The switch from brown to grey was good for me!

Very nice, great dials on these ones. 🙂
Look a bit like Tissots. Just did a search and they are both owned by Swatch. That explains it. Look nice though.
Now that is simply stunning. Does anyone make something like that today?
Certina are on my radar, especially with the precidrive Quartz movement.
Unfortunately they don't seem to have a presence in NZ. I have business trip to Paris in a few weeks, but their website suggests that they don't have any dealers there either. Does anyone here know different?
