Cool Gift ...
On my 1st wedding anniversary my wife purchased a $385- ROLEX (Day of the Week and Date Display) ... we had our first fight when she gave it to me ... you might ask why ... well at that time we had no car and a weeks supply of all groceries set us back ... $8- for three bags of groceries. Mind you my salary way back then (50 years ago) was just below $3,000/year
I wear my ROLEX every day ... had it appraised last in Vegas in 2010 was told it would sell for $14,500-
A new Mercedes SL 450 at tat time was $9,500- Goes to show you what our dollar was worth then and now
