For what it’s worth, back in the day, when they were actual tools, Rolexes and Breitlings didn’t quite cost what they do now.

- goatinaboat 7y agoTrue but when Rolex GMT’s or Breitling Navitimers were used “for real” they weren’t exactly Casio-equivalent prices today

- perl4ever 7y agoI was trying to figure out how much they were, and found the BLS inflation calculator I've used for years seems to be broken, as it has for several days: https://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm https://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm This is kind of disconcerting. I'm guessing those watches were around $1300 in today's money based on a site that claims to get its figures from BLS.
- goatinaboat 7y agoThat seems to be fairly close going by https://blog.crownandcaliber.com/rolex-submariner-watch-prices/ https://blog.crownandcaliber.com/rolex-submariner-watch-pric... The price shot up when they started making them two-tone e.g. half steel half gold.
