They're beautiful.
But the ones I inherited from my Grandfather do me fine. It doesn't seem likely I'll wear them out. And I feel they are tools, not objects of beauty.

Well-made tools _are_ things of beauty!
Truly a labour of love... I think I would be almost scared to take one out of the display cabinet!
A bit like Ostrich Skin wrapped gold plate Leicas to me. I find it hard to believe many of these are put to hard use. Collectors pieces ?
That's not to say I don't lust after one
They look fantastic - but I'd need a LOT of spare cash before spending that much on a plane...
much on a plane...
If I spent that much on a plane I would want it to fly ;-)
