Here is my compilation of Rolex costs relative to income. I will forward data sources later.

Good work Ratae. Looks like they are just getting more and more expensive.

It would be interesting, yet nearly impossible to deterine if the average income earner is a rolex purchaser? Thats a hefty % of pretax income to be spending on any luxury item.

Thanks for posting this

Well done. Far more effective than what I tried to put together a few months ago. Notice how they just about double in many of the roughly 5 year increments.

Wow, that's breaking news!

The more they increase the more they are worth?

What's interesting is if you convert the 1970 prices for example to 2007 you get a $3648 EX II for example.The income info came from below. [I owe it all to Google....]
