Cool, thanks for posting this, if we only had a time machine..
I'd buy the 1675 GMT-Master with gold bracelet! :)

It would have been a great investment. $100 in 1969 would be worth about $700 in today's dollars. $100 invested in the s and p 500 in 1969 would approx $8900 today.

This is fascinating! Thanks for the share.
I comment on someone's recent "Are newbies too OCD?" thread. I was basically saying how you can't compare the mentality to old school Rolex owners. Several reasons why of course, but for one thing look at the pricing!!!! While I understand these weren't exactly "cheap" back then, the modern day pricing is way way higher, even with inflation. |

The 'good old days'. Long before Rolexes became somewhat of an anal-retentive hobby/pastime (for some).
