Can I just say, this vintage diving thing is a really interesting development. New to me however vintage ;0)
I'm a guitarist. On guitarworld vintage gear is great gear. However we are now seeing the second wave of vintage. first wave vintage was 50-early 70ties stuff.
second is - surprise - 80-90ties
I learned to play in the 80ties. most of my gear from that time is now considered vintage. I know for a fact that half of it is junk, pale reflections of older, actually better models of superior materials and craftmanship.
kids growing up now seem to think old=vintage=cool. They buy ****ty post CBS fenders from the mid 70ties for horrendous sums of money because they look worn - and vintage. Companies are even making new stuff artificially road-worn looking so that even the economically challenged get to feel vintage.
I seriously never thought this would find its way into survival-related technology. If I pop a vessel - please for the record dont give me vintage brain surgery, and please please please let potential vintage girlfriends in the past remain.
I guess Vintage wetsuits may be identified by their vintage odeur?
That sticks are vintage computers?
That gravel is vintage diet?
That quicksilver cake is vintage makeup?
That a smack in the gob is vintage dentistry and an axe to the forehead vintage political debate?
you may continue on at your own leisure . . .
