    Never owned a vintage Deville before, but just picked up this Cal 565 gold cap for a song. All original with black dial and gold script, it also has nice original Omega crystal with none protruding magnifer. The look and feel of these is very impressive. In some ways dressier than a gold Constellation. Reminds me of some of the nicer vintage Longines. Fits nicely with an amazing wrist presence, looking larger then actual size. I now understand why some folks really go after these. There is much more here then just the "Draper Affect" spillover, if anything this supplants it .

    More like "Go For It"!


    Not the original artist (who is Joe Jackson), but it's the best I can do. Looks like a music teacher and his students. And it's the only video I could find of this song, which is one of my favorites.

    So I went for it.

    Does it have to look like gold to be gold?
