The good ole days

[MAINEZX10]

I was looking for something and found this. It was given to me for the 3/1/08 price increase. That year the 116520 went up twice, once in March ($7900 to $9200) and once in October ($9200 to $9925). Not sure why the 116520 is not listed

Always interesting!

Inflation adjusted the 116710 would be $9,650 today, and full gold Daytona 116518 would be $28,700.

Where are they actually now - the oyster 126710 and yellow gold 126508 Daytona?

Wow nostalgia, reminds me when i bought my first 16610 submariner back in 2009 felt like it was yesterday but looking back its already 15 years ago, how time flies...

Tell me about it, time sure does fly. In 2009, they could not give away green dial Subs. My Grey guy would have many of them, trying to pawn them off for $2500-$3000. Being a Celtics fan, I always thought about buying one to wear with my Celtics gear. Boy, do I wish I bought one.

Interesting prices. I always look back on these and remember.

Ahhh, back when gold was “pink”, not “rose”

I wish I still had some of that old stuff.

If I recall, there used to be a smaller booklet with pictures and prices of each reference with the prices.

This is also a great price throw back link on Rolex prices

A 14060M priced at $5300 in 2008 was gifted to me by my wife on our 25th wedding anniversary in October 2005. She paid $3700 at the Waikiki, Oahu AD. I don't know if that was retail or she got it at under MSRP.

Price increases have been crazy

Do you know good website which has historical prices over time ?

this is very useful, thanks for posting

for my own selfish use, I would love this in UK prices with inflation built in

[Calatrava r]

And most likely discounted from there.

Yep, I bought my first Rolex SeaDweller back in 1992 and I think if I remember correctly I got a 15% discount.

[ndane]

I certainly remember these days. Seems like a lifetime ago!

[swissfrank]

Got a 112470 explorer in 2001 for $ 3000. AD said 10% off any thing in the case!

[slide13]

Looking at the prices I had a feeling that was around 2008 or so. In 2007 I purchased a 14060M for I think $4500 which was a discount off the MSRP I remember.

Was from a jewelry store in Illinois just across the border with Iowa. Was able to avoid sales tax by having them hire a courier service to drive it over the Mississippi and hand it off to me in a parking lot, haha. Totally new concept for them but I have a feeling they may have used that one in the future after that.

[enjoythemusic]

i remember 5k 'tonas.

Yes, lots of people laughing it up in 2008, good times. So many people losing their shirts, there were amazing deals everywhere. The good ole days!

That’s not that long ago. I have catalogs when I was shopping that has the no-date SS Sub for $3700.00 otd from my AD. I think early/mid 90’s?? I would have to check. I keep my old Rolex catalogs as trophies in my office library. A lot of driving and research was required to buy a Rolex that was in the display case.
