Does anyone have the link that shows the original prices on vintage Rolex models. I have a 1984 year Rolex GMT 16753; I am curious to find out the original price.

Here's the 1980 list. http://www.rolexephemera.com/misc-ma...elist-1980.htm

I'd guess you could add about 15% onto those prices for 1984 cost. Probably around 2500 usd I'd guess.

Using 2,000 dollars as a reference for comparison of 1984 dollars-
I could have purchased nearly two years of my college tuition for that amount back then, or I could paid rent for nearly seven months. Put another way, 2k for me back in 1984 was hard to come by back then...

What's really interesting is that the 1675 retailed for $900 and the 1675/8 retailed for $7750. That's over 8.5x as much.

The difference in price between SS and gold current models is nowhere near that.

Yes, I saw that as well. So much money to buy solid gold. I believe that the all precious medal models must be a smaller market segment. I couldn't ever imagine wearing a solid gold watch, yet here I sit with a two tone gmt as a my new favorite.

Wrong year to pick for a steel to gold comparison.
Gold really spiked in 1980. Hit $730/oz.
Equivalent to $2,200+ an ounce today.

That's pretty interesting, Wes.
