Same here for my OM-4Ti, except I've had it for less than 10 years. But
then I bought it second hand. I've used it in rain storms in Schotland,
in downtown L.A. after night fall, in the heavy humidity in Japan,
dropped it on a quay there and lost the self-timer/beeper cover. It
looks like a pile of junk, but boy, it's a jewel :)
I wonder what the couples will think when they see that camera in front
of their noses during the wedding photo sessions I have in August :)

That might be a good reason (if you allow me to go cross-thread) to get
the OM-3Ti. It's all-mechanical except for the light meter. I got my
OM-3 (non-Ti) when the light meter in my OM-1 broke, so I don't think
the OM-1 is more robust in that respect.
