Went for a browse today, and saw a couple of these I liked in the 'DS First' range.

They don't seem to be officially imported to the UK, so it's something a bit different too.

Anyone else got one?

Colleague has one, looks quite nice. The upmarket watch dealer I often pop in to in Stockholm sells them alongside the usual Omega/Breitling/Rolex/IWCs.

Bought it this evening. DS First chrono, the place was doing 50% voucher cashback so I've got another couple of hundred to spend in the store within the next couple of weeks.



Much happier with this than the CW C7 it replaced.

Nice watch that Matt. Did Certina sponsor Motor Sport at some point? I know the name.

Can I ask what it set you back? I thought that the DS Podium Valgranges was nice too.



ETA - they sponsor Williams F1. So, that's sponsorship dollars well spent on this particular consumer then..

It cost GBP equivalent of £420 - damn exchange rates!! It's 5ish to the £, instead of 7.

Bought in the UAE. They had a promotion on, where I got 50% of price back in vouchers, or offered me 20% ish discount - so i took the vouchers!

Bought a Tissot PRC 200, and a cheap runaround watch with the voucher.
