30 years is definitely vintage!

This on my wrist today. Brownie points for the first person to identify the three in the background...

Thank you for the kind words.

You guys have high standards \ taste; as such these comments are high praise! It was (kind of) an impulse buy for me - it was the patina that did it for me.

You did excellent Steve. It's getting harder and harder to find original examples like that. I would NEVER sell that if I were you. Enjoy it
