FYI, there's a store in Switzerland that has them in stock. $700 shipped and they will ship internationally:

They must have been reading DWC, because they told me no credit cards or PayPal, wire only :grin:

I ordered one this morning. It is $690 shipped to the USA. Wire only. Looks like it’ll take about 5 business days for international wire to post.

At that price I doubt they would do much if anything on group buy. A model that looks this good and costs this little is likely a hot seller.

Ordered mine early yesterday and did a wire online. Today the AD notified me the wire had posted and they provided shipping confirmation. It should arrive in a few days via EMS.

The AD (Urs) was great with communication and I don’t have any reservations at this point. I hope the watch lives up to my expectations.

I posted their info earlier in the thread because I had read good things about them on other watch forums. Glad it's working out.

I'm happy with the watches I have, but have been feeling the itch for a Watchco SM300. Just couldn't justify the extra investment, though, and this Certina seems to have the same kind of vibe for not much more than a crappy homage would cost. Sent a wire payment for one a few hours ago.

I've seen some posts on another forum, concerned about how difficult it might be to get service for the Powermatic 80, but if I'm not mistaken, this same movement has been used in some Hamilton models. Makes sense as Certina is part of the Swatch Group. There's an authorized Swatch dealer in my area with a very competent watchmaker. I'm guessing the P80 would be no problem for him to work on.

I bought Ripper’s that was listed a week or so ago. Just got the watch today.

After reading the too big, mainly lug to lug, I was concerned that it would wear too big for me. Not the case at all for my 7.5 inch wrist.

I’ll get some pictures up in the next few days.

Looks nice. Was the L2L 52?
Curious as well. If 52, too big for me
52 is what I've seen specified.

diameter of the case: 41 mm
diameter of the bezel: 42.8 mm
lug to lug: 52 mm
height: approx. 13.2 mm
lug width: 20 mm.

https://www.vintagecertinas.ch/en/certi ... f-an-icon/
Perfect size :thumbsup:
I think it'll work for me. Same L2L as the LLD.
Wears smaller than the Longines Legend Diver. It has been a few years, but I sold the LLD because of the long lugs.

I don’t have anyway to measure, but this Certina can’t be the same measurement. :shrug:

The AD that Andrew mentioned in this thread has excellent customer service.

This morning I received this email:

Haven't seen many wrist shots of this – would love to know how the length and height wears on a bitch wrist like mine.

Several wrist shots on IG but hard to tell since the wrist size is unknown.

Mine just shipped. Ed was right. Dealer's communication is excellent. Thanks for the lead, Andrew.
