Nice facts about Rolex but...

Is it true that Airking was $2200 when first came ?
Was it the original price or at 2016?

The Airking has been around since the 1940's.

It probably only cost a few bucks when it came out.

Objects with go up in prices from 1960-2019.
We earn more money becuase we get more payed now than before. It might have been only 2k for a watch 30 years ago, but since the cost of manpower and material have been raised, so have to cost to buy it. 2k back then could be how 5k are now.
