Thanks! And today I'm wearing it's 2014 MkII re-release sibling, but it doesn't qualify as vintage, even though it definitely looks the part. ;)
Since I can't really post it in this topic I will include a link to it here:

It's not really OT as it does include pics of the 70s one side by side with the newie...

After wearing one of my largest watches (42mm Montblanc) on and off the past few weeks, I've now switched to one of my smallest (28mm):

Always lovely examples shown in this thread. I really need to increase my vintage collection.

Anyway, my old trusty fellow 40 year old for today...
