My early 1980's Air-King

1st post and 1st Rolex!

Picked this up a little while back and thought I'd share the best photo I have of it. It's apparently from 1982 (from the serial #) and has been serviced a couple of times since. It is running about +5 secs per 24 hours. I like it on the strap, which is good because it didn't come with the bracelet or any paperwork.

Enjoy!

Can anyone tell me what bracelet model # would have come with this (not jubilee)? I'd like to try to find one.

She's a beauty, and in real good shape! Well done!

Cool '69! I don't know if I've seen one with that style bezel.
