1963 Rolex AirKing
Hello Everyone! I am interested in a 1963 AirKing but do not know if this dial is original. I have tried to upload a picture but having difficulty.
Hopefully this IRL will work. If not, sorry for the post. |

it's not original. Original parts are important in this game we call vintage.

Vintage AK dials pop up so it's an easy fix for less than the cost of 2 tanks of gas
