My GMT II weighs 231g, 175g @ 24k Gold.

At the current gold price X 6.2 ounces that makes ... um.

$1,000,000,000,000.

I will accept trades of 6541 Milg, plus a couple of vintage newman daytonas.

I can't really see Rolex doing that. The economy is too unstable, and the jumps of some of the more popular watches were pretty big as it was. Either way im glad I got my Blusey when I did! Thought I think a Daytona and or a Milgauss are quite a ways off, and will be even further off should there be another jump in May

It wouldn't surprise me! actually I think it is very possible, look at the price diference between the watches in Europe and the US!!!! In a way it is unfair for the European market to pay more for the same watch that is made VERY near them!!! common Why should we pay more for an item made in the good ol USA than anyone else in the world!!!!! If the thing is made her and the fright cost is cheaper than bringing it overseas it is only fair that we have the same or better price... and I am not considering the hefty VAT that Europe has, that's a whole nother story!!!!
So lets hope it does not happen... but embrace ouselves for impact!!!

Gold prices took a huge dump today!

rob · 20 March 2008, 10:17 AM

what goes up must come down, look at the price of gold for the past 25 years! My question is, if gold comes down will they lower the price?

It's not the price of gold...it's the declining dollar.

If the dollar continues its slide, we will most certainly see additional price increases...probably before the end of the year. The dollar devaluation has been severe.

i hope not. especially in the US with the economy in flux.
