I have just purchased a vintage Air King 5500 serial no 987***. Can any one tell me when the 5500 model came into production as there is discrepancy as to the dating of the watch. i have been informed this could either be 1954 or 1963. i would appreciate any information. it has a 1530 movement and i am concerned it might be cobbled together
