Rolex Oyster Air king 5500 1963/4


Soylent Green

Vintage old oyster air king FS c, 1964

model 5500 with usual 1002 case back, serial 9xxx so 63/64 production- doesnt look its age . 

runs well to a few seconds a day. Classic old watch. It use a Vostock Amphibia or Omega dymanic  these days and the air king is a bit small for me tbh.

Awful non original steel strap was replaced with a generic leather one. Not been serviced in my time and is nearly 60 years old, so assume it not still waterproof - would need a reseal if you wanted to use it in water i advise. not bothered me but its important with these oysters to get em done and its a straightforward and regular job for an independent rolex service outfit

after £2K easy sale as I am looking into to get an old classic car for the ULEZ stuff.vv.jpg.2241429abfad25f09a6bbdd16aeb118f.jpgvvv.jpg.1d7a5693caf5cd296a5c42ded21b44fa.jpg 

thanks

 

ETA , might consider a trade up/down for rolex, even if its broken I might be interested in buying it to restore

    • I've done some searching and come up with these.  The first looks very helpful for getting to know about the Hub itself, and the others may give some useful history.  I've yet to look through them myself. https://carnegielibraryhub.org.uk/    
    • I'm with Octopus, and I have no idea what to do either. Finding it hard to get my head around it all. They seem to have a 15 month fix with no exit fees, however I'm not sure if I exited whether I could just revert to whatever I'm on at the moment, or whether I might find that whatever that is might no longer be an available option. I tend to just heat whatever room I'm in and/or use a heated throw. And use the microwave where possible unless I've got an oven full of stuff which I can then freeze most of.
    • If anyone is looking for a plumber, I would really recommend Niko. He has helped me out with two different bathroom plumbing jobs. He’s super responsive and reliable, well-priced and patient in explaining the issues. His number is +44 7818 607583. HM
    • ??? I feel really weak and  dizzy, I don't think it's a good idea at all to be out. And my vitamin D level is actually much too high. Last time I had blood tests, my  GP told me to stop taking vitamin tablets.  But thanks for your concern! I appreciate the advice, but I only came on here to see if other people had similar symptoms!
