5512 question

[C6MMVI]

Does anyone know what the retail price of a mid sixties 5512 sold for at a retail level through an AD in 1965 or 1966.

I also heard that the ratio of sales for a 5513 verses a 5512 was 6 to 1.

Not sure if that is true or not, but I'm curious if AD's were more prone to discounting the 5512's due to their higher price and longer time to get them sold and out of their inventory?

I believe it it was around 230-260usd.

Don't you wish there was a time machine to go back and buy as many of them as you could at that price.

I will put it on my list so when my time machine is finished I can pick it up for you.

Mid 60's price list attached.

You can search "Rolex 5513 gilt report" on google for interesting stuff that also relates equally to the 5512
