The Rolex Air-King that arrived today is a slightly older model made in 1963.
It is an excellent item that appears to have been repaired at great expense in the past.
If it's an Air King from around 1963,
The index is triangular, such as a wedge.
The needles are thick needles such as leaf needles,
The windshield is a dome-shaped plastic windshield,
The bracelet is a rivet bracelet,
If it had remained the same as it was back then, the details above would probably have been the same.
The dial of this particular watch was later replaced with a black dial with Luminova luminous finish.
Luminova luminous pencil hands that match the time period,
The windshield is a square plastic windshield,
The bracelet is a hard bracelet type made of solid links.
It is in excellent condition, suggesting that various parts have been replaced by Rolex in the past.
I don't know the exact price at the moment,
It is estimated that it cost about 500,000 yen to repair it up to this point.
I feel that we have perfected the vintage watch to the point where it can be used practically.
The movement is Cal.1530.
This is a famous aircraft that was used as the Air King until the mid-1960s.
This is a non-hack movement,
Rolex has probably stopped providing this service for quite some time now.
It seems that some services are available depending on the condition of the machine.
This particular watch was overhauled at Rolex Japan in September 2022.
This time, only the international service warranty is included, so I don't know the details of the repair other than the overhaul,
If you have had your watch properly maintained by Rolex,
I think you can use a watch of this age with relative peace of mind.
By the way, I don't know the past repair history of this particular unit, but looking at each part,
The dial and hands are Luminova luminous, so they were replaced after 1998.
The bracelet was replaced with a clasp cord around 1999,
For reference, it is likely that it was properly repaired in 1999.
When worn, it gives a very modern look.
The black dial gives it a masculine look,
Each part is relatively new, so it is slightly older than the current model.
It's truly "neo-vintage."
This watch is also characterized by its beauty, which is hard to believe it was made in 1963.
What's even more appealing is that it can be used in a practical way.
Regardless of the era, Rolex black dials are extremely valuable,
Isn't this a great opportunity for many people?
The Air King is one of the most popular vintage Rolexes.
With a black dial, this is a rare opportunity that will likely be fiercely contested.
This time you really don't want to miss it.
It's well worth the effort to get it!
