Certina DS Action Diver 38: Could this be the best dive watch under $1000?

Review of the Certina DS Action Diver 38
Reference #: C032.807.11.051.00

[@leshiro5574]

Such a good size with excellent specs.

[@bulldogms]

Great review!

[@John_Gloehr]

tolle Uhr, sehr gut verarbeitet, sehr gutes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis, sehr robust und sehr schick

[@Oparalf]

Ich kann die Uhr nur empfehlen. Sie ist sehr gut verarbeitet und passt prima an mein 16,5 cm Handgelenk, ohne irgendwie zu stören. Die Optik ist ein Hingucker. Das ETA Werk ist sehr genau +2/Tag bei mir. Ich liebe sie.

[@markjohn1910]

Love it . Got an oris diver 65 and a seiko spb147 but I do like this very much

[@pin75us1]

I’m trying to decide between this watch and the Christopher ward trident c60. Great review!

[@zacharyheuthorst4466]

Same!

[@makky777]

I have a green one. 😍

Mido Ocean Star 200 great Watch too

[@leshiro5574]

Under $500 is a major steal

[@randomdude7345]

Thats a dream, I can get them for 800 euro which is even more in $.

[@mikeuk4130]

I shall get this model plus the titanium version for my wife.

[@Tinez87]

How does this wear compared to the 43mm version? Lug to lug on the larger model measures 51mm I believe.

[@jinxUKBK]

Really nice watch and review. How did you find the time accuracy with this piece.

[@thewatchverdict]

Thank you. So far mine is running about +3 seconds a day when on wrist. Very well built watch in every aspect I think.

[@Lg_tuber]

do the bezel yellow with time?

[@Vinny_Gigante]

Yes it is and is even better than the Omega Diver Seamaster

[@Rehmankhan-it5ou]

Nice

[@fugitive88888]

I want it in titanium with ceramic bezel

[@MrALBOROTOSO]

Watch a different video

[@dudumotta1790]

Nice vid! What's the name of the dealer you got it from?

[@sonichechoencuba7107]

Hodinkee I bought mine here

[@jochenkey]

1. What is the Bezel material of, can't find it on certina hp and 2. Lug width for the strap?

[@pompeylad1977]

I believe it’s stainless steel.

[@bronson443]

Bezel is aluminum, lug width is 19mm ;)

[@relosapulso]

Aluminum with PVD coating

[@meegustaa61]

With a 15.5cm wrist like mine, does this fit? The case size is pretty small (38mm) , but lug-to-lug (51mm you said?) is pretty large to me xD

[@simonbailey2151]

In your position I would definitely try it on. Alternatively look at the new Glycine Combat Sub in 36 or 39mm.

[@thewatchverdict]

I think it would fit. The 51mm is to the end of the center male end links, but they do turn down slightly so it doesn’t wear to big. I think you will be ok, but if possible you should try it on. Although I know that can be difficult if your in the US.

[@meegustaa61]

Thank you all!!

[@keefw361]

Did you try it on out of interest?

[@meegustaa61]

@@keefw361 Yes, I tried it in a store and it perfectly fits

[@khole15]

51 mm effective l2l is ridiculous, Certina never seem to learn on the l2l, still gonna try it at the store though, hopefully wont be that bad

[@bulldogms]

Hope it will fit on my 6.5" wrist...

[@JuanDominguez-]

It will fit perfectly! 👌

[@slayermeb]

Where did you get it under $500?

[@hannabee5182]

how many links you took out to size it to your wrist?

[@thewatchverdict]

3

[@hannabee5182]

how's the crown action? does it screw in properly?

[@thewatchverdict]

It’s great. The action is good I just wish it wasn’t polished, but even then it’s easy to grip

[@hannabee5182]

@@thewatchverdict awesome! thanks for the response, do you still wear it? :D

Certina DS Action Diver 38: One of the very best dive watches under USD 9000!

[@simonbailey2151]

$900 surely…. anyway, I would agree that it ticks a lot of boxes at or around that price point. A ceramic bezel would be nice.

[@ChaPPie01]

Got today 2 tone gold en green one new, for 580 I think its a good deal?

[@bulldogms]

Tempting. Not crazy about the 19mm bracelet.
