The stainless steel Air-King was produced sometime in the mid-to-late 1960's, bringing with it a vintage aesthetic that is unlike any modern watch that is currently on the preowned Rolex market. The case wears on a stainless steel fold-over link Oyster bracelet secured by a Fliplock clasp and measures a subtle 34mm in diameter. A smooth bezel and a matching silver dial complement the modest feature set nicely, creating the perfect timepiece for business or formal attire. The dial is often the focal point of most Rolex watches, and this secondhand Rolex is no different, displaying the time via sleek index hour markers, a Rolex logo at 12 o'clock, and beautifully aged Dauphine hands.

I couldn't be happier with my purchase. While not the least expensive option, Bob's service has been great. And, having had the watch assessed by a certified Rolex dealer in NY, I was assured not only was it in extraordinarily good condition cosmetically, the work done on the internal mechanics was excellent. I would recommend Bob's highly.
very accurate description but I assumed it would be in a Rolex box. Excellent service
Affordable. Great credit terms. Awesome watch.
A outstanding piece. Under rated by there scale. If this watch would have came with the original box it could be sold for new old Stock
Bob’s Watches is truly an amazing company. This was my first Pre-Owned watch purchase and it was an amazing experience. I had a few questions and they were answered immediately and unlike many other online dealers they actually have the watches in inventory. Placed my order at 4pm and it was at my door at 10:30am the next morning on the other side of the country. The pricing and experience are truly exceptional!!
As promised. Was able to replace lost/stolen Long beloved watch with close approximation.
Love the simplistic, lux, classic, and timeless look to the Airking.
Appears unworn - essentially brand new, but it is 58 years old....
