My first post so a quick Hello to everyone
Its my first post because I've just bought my first Rolex. A 1962 Rolex Air King.
I've been looking for a birth year watch for a little while, and out of the blue on another forum up popped the Air King. After a couple of questions to the seller it turned out to be dated 4th Qtr 1962
Well, as I was born in December so it just had to be didn't it
The down side is it came on a horrid strap and without a Rolex clasp so I'm looking for a bit of advice (but not much as that would be cheeky on a first post)
The strap should be 19mm, so should I be looking specifically for a 19mm strap or does 20mm fit without being stiff or looking kak?
And lastly, what are the chances the clasps on fleabay are geniune? Or is there somewhere I can go get a genuine one. Not an AD, its nearly 50yrs old so a new one just wouldn't look right.
Cheers and once I've got it sorted out I'll get you some photos.
