Page from a german Auction Catalogue from 1990 (Joseph):

 

Cool! Feel free to post more...

 

In the late 80s, there were 3.3DM to the £ .... I don't remember the rate changes going into 1990.

 

...two years later (1992):

The "poor" page, only black + white:

 

Interesting how the M90 was valued compared to those Rolexes. Also, funny how that Orator was in the same range as the Speedy and Co-pilot.

Thanks for posting.

 

Yes, they were valued higher than today. Especially M90/95 with gold cases were over 10k (DM).

 

..I would not have expected that already in the early 90ies there were put-together-Speedies around....
..Ed White case, 70/80 bezel and Professional 67 dial...

 

I never knew those Rolexes already had yellow colored tritium when released.. I thought it was that colour now because of patina?

 

The 1675 was produced in 1959, so it's had more time to patina than you'd think!

Killer catalog, wish I was born so I'd be able to bid...

 

Now November 1993 - no Longines 13ZN/30CH, no interesting Speedmasters:

 

1994:

 

1994 (2)

 

Looking at this again, Weems were already expensive.

Thanks for posting!

 

Reminds me of the early 90’s looking at the AD window and seeing new subs for £1600 thinking one day think my monthly wage was £400 then

 

If I only had a time machine, I'd load on on those Daytona's.

I love the GMTs, although, the Fat Lady is priced higher than the 1675s which I found interesting.

Thanks for sharing.

 

Thanks for the bump, nice little bit of nostalgia. Anyone know the ~ conversion rate to usd back then?

 

Hello,nice post...those beautiful Rolex,and Breitling's, priced at 1200-2000 Deutsche marks....where are gone those days? .....I go to watch again ,,Time machine'' movie..

 

Great to look back at the comparative values.

 

The old Gisbert A. Joseph chronograph pages are full of delicious gut-punches from 2001
