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

  Or turning left, continuing on down Forest Hill Road and turning right further up. Google maps has Dulwich marked at the junction by the old Grove, where the South Circular heads off towards the rest ofbDulwich.

  There is no doubt that Labour's doom mongering when it came into office spooked the markets. Plenty of analysts and businesses said so pre-budget. And why the budget was leaked so much before its announcement, I do not know. Honestly, whoever is in charge of comms really needs to get the boot. I am so sick of hearing them bang on about 14 years of Tory decay - Labour repeatedly pressed the Tories for longer, more astringent lockdowns. It's largely thanks to the furlough scheme that we're in so much debt. I was such a staunch lockdown supporter at the time and now, looking back, it seems draconian. We're still paying the price in so many ways.

  Dulwich is a slightly ill-defined concept. I think this definition is "Dulwich Library" via Barry Road

  And for the crooked temporary Christmas Mail staff... Who I've seen holding envelopes up to the light to check their contents.
