That's right. The 1930-40s, and 1960-70s are among my favourite periods.

While the present day is seeing some amazing innovations in materials and design, time will tell if it will be held in as much regard as those earlier times. I would also have been tempted by the Rolex above, but I already have that case and dial design c... 

My pleasure.
