Hey, I've been lurking around this site for several months gaining knowledge and finally registered today.

I'll introduce myself by starting with my name which is Jim. After being in the chemical industry for over 30 years it's time to step aside for the next generation. ( I hope not to turn into one of the guys that cuts their grass with scissors ) LOL.

After always wanting a Rolex my wife told me to pick out the one I want as a retirement gift to myself, preferably an Explorer 1 or Air-King.
I found a Jeweler 2 hours (100 miles) from me that has a pre-owned Rolex for sale. I would like to be educated before going to check it out.

Knowing you folks get asked this a lot, I apologize upfront. With me being a newby in the Rolex world I would respectively value your opinion on this watch.

I'll post the pics I have and would like your thoughts on the condition, age and is it real or a reproduction? Also what would the real world price be?

Thank you in advance for your time and look forward to the comments.

Have a safe and wonderful day, Jim
