Shouldn't a 5500 have a 19mm strap? The two photos seem to show different size straps. You might ask the seller about it. Could be he had a 18mm for the face shot and forced a 20mm on it for the back shot.

i think you really need to get comfort that the dial is 100% legit. you can get a 62 5500 air king for cheap... but its the dial that is everything here. you need to get better images of that dial with no glass on it to get any sense of the value of that thing. i could recommend just getting a 1016 for these reasons. harry
