Help for a newbie Rolex Air King 5500

I'm new in this forum and passionate about watches but new to the field

A private wants to sell me a Rolex Air King. It is the 5500. Just I don't know if it is a good price and even if it is original.

I would like to ask some help. Here the photos. The price is around 1.900 Eur

Thanks a lot!
Fabio

That's the most badly mutilated Rolex I've ever seen posted on this site.

Jeez, an elephant must've sat on that bracelet whilst folded in bum pocket.

And those lugs ground so sharp, you could use it as a ninja throwing star! Just try getting past TSA carrying that, they'll call it a dangerous weapon.
