which means =$64.64 US
which means =$578.06 US today with inflation

The 36mm DateJust in steel on Oyster in 1957 was =$255 US
which means =$2280.39 US today with inflation

Just for fun, the Rolex Submariner in 1957 = $150
which means =$1,341.41 US today with inflation

In other words, just to be more clear, buying a Rolex in the 1950s-1970s was more akin to buying a Tudor today, price wise, if inflation calculators are to be believed.
