Appreciate the fact that this is TRF, but if you really had a time machine you'd be much better off having bought shares of Berkshire Hathaway.

My cousin bought a Sub in 1966 here in the UK when he was promoted. It cost £99 (circa $200). He still has it, its box, papers, original bill of sale and and the Rolex bag it came in. Oh its been serviced twice and keeps to +4 seconds per day.

I'm 18 and I remember when gold was below $300 oz spot. I kept telling my dad to buy buy buy until it hit a grand. but he didn't listen =(


and back in 66 you could get roughly 5 ozs of gold for $210. so subs would've been a good investment, daytonas would've. (DJ's, AK's , cellinis and presidents, pretty poor investments xD)

In 30 years people will say: wow, only $10.000 for a SS Rolex, give me a time machine and I'll go back and buy 10 of them.

Well, here's your chance, run to your AD and buy 10.

What the heck, buy 20 or 30 and make even more money in 30-40 years.

Nice find!!!

See they are a better investment than a mutual fund. Can't wear a statement of losses and get any enjoyment.

Isn't that the truth !! I guess us having $100,000 to spend on watches would be like someone spending $2000 on watches back then .

What cost $210.00 in 1965 would cost $1508.32 in 2012.
Also, if you were to buy exactly the same products in 2012 and 1965,
they would cost you $210.00 and $29.35 respectively.

yup. which is why you can't really call it a "tool watch" anymore.

/didn't stop me from buying one, though!
