Did I Get A Good Deal on this Vintage?
Just picked this up for $815 and second guessing myself. Was it a good deal?
Airking Model 5500 SN 360XXXX (1972ish) Just looked at by an AD who stated "No service need now" Running +5 I appreciate your opinions. Jim Last edited by nyyankees; 11 June 2009 at 05:44 PM.. Reason: spelling |

Pretty watch. I think you paid the right price providing it has had a recent service.

I think you did very well indeed.....looks great "as is"...would also look great on a bracelet....maybe a new plexi crystal....is that some damage at 6 o'clock on the crsytal or just the light......looks like a great little watch for that money.....enjoy your bargain!!!

I think that was a good price - low enough that it constitutes a bargain, but not so low that it's fishy. Does it have the 1570 movement?

Very nice!!! You can get a new crystal and get the case polished and it'll look like new!! Price seems fine to me.

Good price, I really like the 5500 (I have a mid 80's one), once cleaned up should look great!

I think anytime that you can get a Rolex in good working condition for under $1,000 is a good deal. Congratulations! Wear it in good health!
