Hi Everyone,

I have come across this model that available to purchase in Singapore and wonder whether the dial is original or not. Need you guys' opinion about the dial.

Thank you.

Rolex 5500 Air King 369 Dial

The head of the king using that crown must be tiny.

Yes but not a black Explorer style one. These exist (photo by blackbough.co.uk):

It is made to look like an Explorer, definitely one of the most faked 5500 dials around.
