Rolex Air King and Oyster Perpetual Question

photo.jpg

Hi folks,

Just got the Air King on the left. Just wondering if you guys think if it will look good with a black leather strap and what size will it fit? Any recommendations online with regards to where I should purchase the strap?

Let me know.

Also, can any of you tell me a bit more of both watches and if the scratches can be polished out. I got them as an inheritance.

Thanks!

Congrats! I love the AirKing. Any 19mm leather strap will work. Looks like you're good to go though, nice original 1960s dial and correct rivet strap.

Very nice!

To polish the crystal Polywatch is what you need. Amazon and eBay have it

Nice Air King! Also love the radial dial on the OP Date. Personally, I'd rock that rivet bracelet all day.

If you're going to get a leather band, though, I highly recommend getting one made of Horween shell cordovan. It's the perfect leather for a watchband, IMO. It just gets more and more comfortable the more you wear it. Welcome to TRF!
