Time Relic: Certina Watch Featuring Saddam Hussein On eBay
Here is an interesting and rare find that will likely appeal to collectors of dictator paraphernalia. A Certina brand watch with a happy little picture of the now dead former Iraq leader Saddam Hussein. The Certina brand is controlled by the powerful Swatch Group who is now using Certina as a means of releasing classically styled sports watches such as the Certina DS-1 and DS square.This Certina watch was liked commissioned by the Iraqi embassy and was reportedly distributed in 2001 in Warsaw Poland during a political delegation. Interest groups, associations, and companies will often commission self branded or designated watches to commemorate an event or affiliation. This just happens to be a particularly macabre example given the history and reputation of the reign of Saddam Hussein.Saddam Hussein was actually known for being very fond of placing images of himself on all types of watches and clocks. While very rare in the Western world, there are Rolex and other fine watches strewn

I've been looking for a good deal on a 15400 here in Brasil and cound't find one. I talked To my grey dealer and he managed To get a really good deal on a 15300 instead and sent me the pictures below. I know its getting hard To find one, specially in good condition. My collection is composed by a 26400 (44mm and sportie), Pam090 (44 and sportie), Gmt 116710 (40 and sportie) and an Explorer 16570 (polar, 40 and sportie). I am trading my Pam and the Gmtc plus Us$1300 cash for the 15300. What do you guys think?

Anyone gotten one of these babies? Would love to read a review! Trying to find time to go down take a look. The AD told me the black is in, sliver will be in end of the month

Anyone have a side x side x side pic of a Blue 15300, 15202 and 15400?
Would selfishly like to see the three shades of blue - in one pic - if possible :-)Surely someone has this ultimate comparison shot?I know lighting makes a big difference...I suppose a photo with all models would be the best way - apart from seeing the watches in the metal at the same time.Cheers

Depending on the angle and the lighting, the color changes of this very unique dial never cease to amaze me.
