Dearest watchexchange, i’m offering my Certina DS-8 Small Seconds for sale for $575. This model appears to be discontinued, or at least is no longer on the Certina website. The model is still in stock at retailers, where it costs $899 new. This is my own watch that I have worn. Photos and video at https://imgur.com/a/TkYqShk 40mm diameter, 12mm thick, 100m water resistance without screw-down crown, 21mm lugs, ETA 2825-2 movement instead of Powermatic due to the small seconds. Runs well, has minor cosmetic issues from wear. Bracelet is all-but-unworn (I wore it once), and I am including a handmade leather-and-canvas strap for it — note that this strap is quite long, as I have 8”/20cm wrists. Comes with box and warranty card, about 2 months left on the warranty. I purchased this online from Certina’s retail partner Helen-Kirchhofer in January of 2023. I wore it quite often at first, but it slowly ended up superseded by others in my rather extensive collection. Nice-looking GADA I feel. Payment via PayPal Goods and Services is preferred to provide protections for both Buyer and Seller. US buyers only, please, shipped via USPS. I’d prefer no trades, but if you have something truly interesting to offer. This is my first sale here, but I have a track record of a couple years here on reddit. (Automoderator says I’m new to the sub, but I’ve been a subscriber for years. 🤷🏻♂️)
Estimated Private Party Value $355 — $725
