Rolex Air King Date - buying decision help!

Hi, I am new to the forum. Am currently thinking about purchasing this Air King Date 1981 model. Would really appreciate your input on the watch and if it’s worth purchasing in 2017? I also wonder if I would not be having the quickset date feature on this model.

Thanks.

I had one of these. Is the back engraved by Coca Cola corp? If it is model 5700 then it's not a quickset. Nice watch. A little smaller than a datejust. But very cool

I am to meet the seller this weekend, so can only rely on pictures and back is not completely visible in them. This is what I can see.

My Breitling is certified chronometer, has quickset date and is a much newer watch, 2015. However, I am currently looking for something smaller and classic and I really like the look of datejust/date/Air King or the omega aqua terra..
