Wow, someone else that knows about Tektite I. I was on one of the support and monitoring teams for Tektite II. Among us all, about 75% of us chose the Certina over the Submariner just because it was heavier duty. Kind of like a Humvee vs. a RWD F150 off road.
Were you a Highline College Diving Technician student? They were used as support on tektite II under the direction of Peter Williams and Maurice Talbot.
It is finally arrived the new DS PH1000M Orange limited edition. I’m bet that you will be one of the first to make a review. I bought mine two days ago I can’t wait to have it.
Great review and look back on the history of this piece! The certina's remind me a lot of the Zodiac Super Seawolf 53 and 68, with similar respective styles to the Certina 200 and 500 respectively. A friend recommended your channel and I am so happy he did, keep up the fantastic work👊🏻
Because of your detailed review, its history with added emphasis of this model above the rest, i bought the Super DS 500 M, today. Thank you for sharing🙏
I’m so glad you reviewed this Certina. I also like and appreciate tool watches and this one looks like it would hold up extremely well under rugged conditions. Well done 🥃
Excellent comprehensive technical review!!!!! You nailed it!!! I was lucky to purchase one a couple of months ago, & it’s everything you point out in your video..& more!!!!
Thanks for educating review. As a Rolex sea dweller owner I truly think that the PH500 is a really classy tool watch at a great price, coz it integrates modern design with old fashioned charm. God bless.
Great review and as a Divemaster I’ve made my choice to go with this watch . It’s been a long journey of research . And only in the last two days I’ve found this brand Certina . Thanks for the help 🤿🤙
Great review as always.. but can u increase the sound of your mic next time? I feel the audio is abit low, have to crank up the volume to full and i feel it is still not loud enough especially if i watch your video in outside environment.. keep up the good work man😁
I've just been and looked at this model and the blue DS 200 in my local jewellers. The 500 crown was impossible for my fingers to grasp and unwind. For that reason alone, I stuck with my initial decision and bought the DS PH200M which doesn't have that issue with being sunk in the case. BTW, the jeweller price matched a discount code I found on another site online and I got it for £660 which is a great price.
Love the video! Cool channel. And i am thinking about which certina everyday watch to buy, love this one but not sure if it can be a little dressed up 🤔
This is the watch worn by the astronauts in the 1969 Gerry Anderson series UFO. In fact most of the characters wore Certinas including dress watches and chronographs.
@@BraveBeaters just ordered the mesh bracelet to put in my PH500. If you will be in RO sometime and you want I can share with you my Certina DS3 s for review :D. I am also a Certina fan, I have 7 😂
I'm resisting, I'm sure my jubilee, milanese and leather straps would fit, feel and look correct, it annoys me at this price point no extra strap, unless you are a member of the DK Diving association.
Thanks for review! I just subscribed. Just one note: please include the weight in the specification. I don't know why this so often is ignored, because I think that's good to know as well. And actually Certina don't either tell the weight on the waches in their own website, so I don't blame you here. But it's easy measured with a digital kitchen scale.
Beautifully put together video as always 👏🏻 Like the watch, shame they didn't go with the original dial design/colour tho (+ my usual comment about dates on divers 😂) Thanks, keep up the good work Cheers 👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Steve! yes, you are right in regard to the original dial color, I wanted to say that on the video but apparently I've missed it. :D BUT, I think I can make an extra proposal in our garage, for the Super PH 500m, Cheers! :)
Certina really has some good stuffs in their vintage watches. Just found some really good looking ones on UA-cam today. Now that I have already owned the DS PH200M, I really hope Certina would release the reissue of these as well. ua-cam.com/video/C9zwMMXGBCs/v-deo.html

Why would anyone use the sub for diving. Would you guys not have had a sea dweller or deep-sea if you were diving? That is if you wanted a Rolex.
See!? I ALWAYS *learn something* when I spend time on this channel...

Good video production you deserve more following
Underrated intro!!!
Love the video! Cool channel. And i am thinking about which certina everyday watch to buy, love this one but not sure if it can be a little dressed up 🤔
Hi! thanks! :)
the Super PH is o the toolish side, the 200m is more towards the dressy side,
@@BraveBeaters Thanks for the recommendation, will probably buy the 200m.
A fantastic review as always. Thank you.
Thanks Paul!
Awesome watch👍 Great Review 👏👏👏
Thank you Sir :)
I’m discovering the journey to find an upper level beater it’s very hard to find.
This is the watch worn by the astronauts in the 1969 Gerry Anderson series UFO. In fact most of the characters wore Certinas including dress watches and chronographs.
A great review and some excellent photography. It’s a subscribe from me!
Thank you Sir :)
literally fantastic 😉
I am curious if you can put the mesh bracelet from PH200M on the PH500M. I think it would look awesome!
Yup. it works with mesh very well!
@@BraveBeaters just ordered the mesh bracelet to put in my PH500.
If you will be in RO sometime and you want I can share with you my Certina DS3 s for review :D. I am also a Certina fan, I have 7 😂
@@ptpiata did you get the original certina mesh bracelet?
Purchased this a couple of months ago and it’s a stunning watch. Had to swap the strap, it was just too big for my wrist.
It's a great option for summer and holidays, yes :) I swapped my strap as well with a tropic.
I'm resisting,
I'm sure my jubilee, milanese and leather straps would fit, feel and look correct,
it annoys me at this price point no extra strap, unless you are a member of the DK Diving association.
Thanks for review! I just subscribed.

I really like the watch but I can’t get passed the misalignment of the angled ring around the crystal
a good review and a new sub
Thank you :)
Keep up the good work. M-ai convins sa-l cumpar. Bafta!
Thanks Vladimir, hope you enjoy it. it is an iconic and reliable piece :D
Good stuff.
Are your sure it has COSC certification, couldn’t find anything on line saying it has COSC rating??
It's not for sure :)
Is this as good as a doxa?
Beautifully put together video as always 👏🏻

What does the abbreviation "PH" mean
What is the thickness of the sapphire crystal
No idea :D
Combien coûte la certina orange de 500 mètres de profondeur ?👍❤️
hi, around 700 euros?
What is the lume like ?
Hi, the Certina lume is awesome. has blue superluminova dar is not seiko broght but it lasts way longer. I am a big fan of Certina lume.
Certina really has some good stuffs in their vintage watches. Just found some really good looking ones on UA-cam today. Now that I have already owned the DS PH200M, I really hope Certina would release the reissue of these as well.

H, Edwin, thank you for your though. I do love the brand, and I do love those vintage models, as well. great detailed insights. subscribed!
If only the bezel was ceramic….
Enter the > PH 1000m
If only they were brushed.
