Looks all good to me
1. hands are original and genuine (e.g. judging by the second hand's features) 2. dial typography and font looks good; coronet looks good with the spherical 3D-ish dots 3. hollow middle-link 19mm bracelet on this model (with the correct marking font) is a very good sign (i.e. not an aftermarket bracelet) 4. clasp looks good 5. movement has a 1000% genuine base |

I have a 14010, engine turned bezel, and 3-6-9 dial in salmon color, so I can tell you the AK you are looking at is the real deal .. It's a pretty good price, because I've seen many on fleabay going for as much as 1000 dollars more. 3,600 is a crazy high price for it, but some people do ask it .. and even worse, some people actually pay it
If you buy it, come back and post pics. We love pics here on TRF. And wear it in great health for many many years

GENUINE
It has been serviced by a NON Rolex approved repair center. A

Do what? .. Pay 3,600 for a 14010 or 14000M?
That watch can be had with box and hang tags for 3k, and I got mine for less .. I won't post how much in case I decide to sell it one day I can get a 114200 with box and hang tag for 3,600 and a 114234 with box, papers and hang tags for 3,900 4,200 Nothing wrong paying whatever you are willing to pay for something you really want .. I just think 3,600 is requires the newer style watch What do you think of the new air king 116900?

The price is a great price. That is something I'd buy if I were in the market for an older AK

If flea-bay shopping, this one doesn't look bad either: P-series AK Includes box/papers/etc. and *possibly* a slightly stronger case. However, it's nearly $700 more. |

experience and a lot of looking at examples of the watch helps/handling the watch. for example, one of those lugs does bother me a bit as the wear is different from the others. however this would be a user for me if I do buy it. So far, seller has been unresponsive to my questions

Sorry to hijack your thread, Jack. I've been looking at this one, too:
Ebay item: 162857002022 Is there anything alarming to you from the listing? |

nothing. that one also has come up in the thread as another possibility/suggestion. I have it bookmarked currently. it is better than this one https://www.ebay.com/itm/ROLEX-Air-K....c100675.m4236 which has a ding or two on the bezel but still with box and papers, however best offer is available but less seller history |

Something like these: AK 14010 1 AK 14010 2 Or, if still leaning towards the Arabic dial, this one would probably clean up nicely: AK 14010 Arabic |

The real deal-breaker for me though is the yellow coronet/green "Rolex". Just never looked right to me. Also, seeing "Air King" printed on the lower half of the dial looks odd as well. Much rather have a 4/5-digit AK. YMMV... |
