Rolex 6552 Airking 3-6-9 dial

Recently picked this up.

Wasn't sure about the dial as I could barely find a similar model but managed to confirm its genuine. Looks like a fairly rare 3-6-9 explorer type dial. Nice little egg-shell white.

All original with 1030 caliber movement. Didn't come with a bracelet but have a 7206 rivet to slap on it.

Very cool. Pretty sure this is the watch Ryan Gosling wears quite a bit

Does this have 20mm lugs for the 7206? Is it 36mm? That would be fantastic.

Great Watch, my guess is 34mm; the super precision denotes a better movement than the precision only dials. Great watch, I had a 59 AK I miss sometimes.

I also assumed 34mm, but when the OP mentioned the 7206, it got me excited. :-)

My apologies, I fat thumbed it. 7205! Is what I meant.

Definitely 34mm.

same year!

I could barely find anything on my dial type. Chalked it up to very early iteration before they dropped the 3,6,9 dial type.

What colour was your dial?
