This.

Mine is starting to look a little mangy, and I looked at the tag underneath when we moved earlier in the year; we bought it in 1983, so it's a healthy 35 years old this year.

Still going strong, although the leather is now cracking pretty good. The quality is first rate, and mechanically there is almost zero wear. I keep all the wear points lubricated (a good practice in almost any endeavor).

It's in a side upstairs room with zero through traffic, a TV, stereo and a rowing machine. Broken-in just right.

If it were downstairs where everyone who came in and out would see it, my wife would make me get rid of it inside of a week.

I may get buried in it...
