Is my Rolex real?
I just recently purchased this Rolex Air King 5500 1972. Everything seems about right although I still have two weeks to get my money back. Can I get an opinion on whether or not this is a authentic Rolex?

I have a million questions as to why you bought a "Rolex" without knowing for certain that it was authentic?

I can't even entertain your question for that reason alone.....

Sorry man... Good luck though

Since you are in Beverly Hills, take it the Beverly Hills Rolex Service Center (9420 Wilshire Blvd), for an unequivocal answer to your question.

Looks real enough but extra photos needed between the lugs and movement to be sure.

I agree goto the AD to be sure. Nothing is jumping out at me screaming fake. Look for gaps in the lug area. Fakes are hardly fitted nice.
