FS: 1970’s Certina DS2 PH200 200m Auto Turtle back

I bought this in a bad way a while back, it was in a state. I’ve had it lightly restored, new crystal, relumed hands and a light dial clean. I removed the stuck bezel, cleaned it all up, repositioned the ratched spring and the bezel works great now. Dial has very light circular lines neat the centre from hand drag prior to restoring, but it is very difficult to see. It’s all running as it should, and is a great example of a vintage ‘turtle-back’ Certina with nice patina. The case is completely untouched and very sharp, I resisted touching it, leaving it as is.

The case measures 40mm across, just under 44mm with the crown, and has 20mm lugs. Supplied on a NATO strap of some kind!
