New member with perhaps a dumb question.

I have A 11600 36mm OP, 1960 1102, 1987 Presidential and a couple of Omegas.

I am looking at a 1977 AK for purchase.

What dials where available on the 5.00 Serial series AK 5500?
Was the stick marks , with doubles at 3,6,9 available.
Is the correct movement the 1520 or 1530? I will be having it examined prior to purchase at an AD.

What is the correct bracelet #'s for this.

Thanks guys.

from what i recall from examples we have had it looks just fine to me.

The price is VERY favorable. the seller and I are going to have it authenticated together and confirm movement, serial etc.

Seller did say it was recently serviced and has receipts, on the down side it has been polished, which for me is a negative but it appears the lugs are still in fine shape.

additional info. sorry for the previous short reply as i was getting breakfast ready. the 70's AK's we have had were equipped with 1520 movements and your dial markers do indeed look period correct as well. your screw link oyster looks fine too. if the watch is running well and the price is right then i see no reason not to grab it

ah don't be too concerned about previous polishing as most vintage watches are. i agree the lugs still look fine with plenty of meat on them so in my opinion you have found a nice example.

Well,

The price was correct I feel. We disassembled the to view the serial, model and movement.

The movement was a 1520 with 26 jewels
Serial was 501xxxx
Stamped 5500

Was fully serviced in 2014 and Crystal was replaced.

Very clean, no papers but it had box and prior service history.
