No Longer Available 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. 

thanks

 

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