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
