.. Nevertheless I tend to challenge the notion, that if one loves
something really close to the Geophysic, the only option
would be to hunt the original..
In my humble case & personal note, I respect & love the originals,
but that does not exclude pleasure with one of the Tributes, even if in ss.
I love mine, a lot..
( To be honest, meanwhile I have given up hunting one of
the Vintage originals, and I don't miss it at all)
Sincere congrats to your arrival, dear friend !
Best, hs
PS: In your case with several Vintages, the
motives & rationale are quite different, I concede..
