...and still working!
Long story short, my dad sent me from Italy the depth gauge he was using more than 40 years ago.
I've tried on Saturday, and it's still perfectly working. I've worn it near the Perdix and i did the comparison at different depths: the difference between the computer and the gauge is basically nothing (less than 80 cm).
Aside from the mere vintage meaning, it has also a nice meaning of me keeping the diving tradition in the family. :)
