Hi everyone,

I'm new to Rolex's, and have found myself looking for a deal in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I came across this bad boy in a market, looks like a vintage Air King, and was wondering if this is legit.

I still have to go back to the dealer and ask about papers, history, etc

Does it look redialed? Or polished (either dial or lugs)?

Thanks for all the help

Looks like late 50's. no expert but it appears legit. Probably needs more pix. Experts will chime in

Based on my limited vintage knowledge, I think it's real, at least as far as I can tell from the picture.

after a quick thegoogle check and because of the year and model, i'd say its likely good - but a pic of the guts will say for certain.

The dial and the case look good. Can you post a picture of the movement?

Looks good to me, but no expert ;)

Hi all,

After going back to the small dealer, I have more information for you all, as well as pictures of the movement.

The watch is a rolex 5504 from 1967. Movement 1560. Here is a collection of pictures of the movement. I would love to know if this is legit! Asking price is sizeable.
