Question about Air-Tiger

Saw this Air-Tiger on ebay. Any thoughts on this watch? Value? Do you think it is original? Thanks!

Your photos aren't showing up but there are two Tudor Air-Tigers on eBay. Both appear okay

I looks original. I won't comment about value.

Thanks guys. Any background on this watch? I have been looking for a 5700 Air-King and based on some history I thought that the Air-King, Air-Tiger, Air-Lion were all Rolex. Apparently some are Tudor. Wondering how the value matches up to an Air-King? Rarity? Thanks!

Here is an interesting, short pictorial history of a few Air watches. They are all Rolex. No pictures of a Tiger however. Maybe the Tiger was Tudor only?

The Rolex Air-Tiger is like the sub seconds Air-King... Rare.

The AT was made from 1945 to around 1947 in steel, TT and 9ct gold. The ones you have pictured here are the later Tudors with the same name. Not really connected with the original
