    Thanks, Joe. B&W was still de rigueur when it was born.

    I just developed some long overdue rolls of b&W film today, in fact for the first time in years. Some of these were from last November, and some from three years ago. I think Digital photography has made me lazy. But I do enjoy film photography.

    Yep. Prices went a bit crazy, lately. This De Ville was a gift from my parents, still have box and papers. The price, new from an Omega AD? Circa 70€ (in 1977)!

    P.S.: Just out of curiosity: taking into consideration the accumulated inflation rate and all that, this watch would cost 1200€, if bought today.
