As mentioned above, that model is quite small, and therefore less desirable in the current market. I bought a similar one for my wife.

Keep reading the forums and decide whether you are really interested in a vintage piece (which have distinctive looks), or whether you're just looking to save money over a new watch by buying pre-owned.
I agree with Dan. My recommendation would be to cross this Air King model off the list.
