Advice on this Speedking please

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MakeTrack=true

I've been keeping an eye out for a Speedking. This is not a new listing but I would appreciate any advice please.

What concerns me is lack of case-back off photos (I have requested same) but I would have expected a "Swiss made" or similar at 6 position. Is that the case?

Also, is that font for the "Rolex" OK?

The seller says it is an original dial.

Thanks!
Richard

...watch looks good...

...the "speed king" font is different than that of the "air king".

Thanks Stan.

I've found it tricky with these because so many of them are refinished - understandable maybe given the age.

I'm still waiting a response to my questions of seller so I appreciate the advice.
