Air King and Sub

Hi guys

I bought my '64 Air King last year to get me started, was too good to miss for the deal I did, especially with the rare Arabic numerals




Treated myself to this yesterday….. always wanted a Submariner… better start saving for the Daytona now

Yeah, the Sub's nice...But that Air-King is outstanding! That dial looks excellent; I can't remember seeing one like that before.

Thanks fella
I had the Air King valued when I bought the Sub, and they spoke to a specialist on vintage pieces and he commented on the condition of the face/dials also, and that the Arabic nemerics are very rare

It was being sold as a 1964 model, and was confirmed 1960's, but couldnt confirm the exact year
