First time on here so hello all.
I don't know the first thing about watches and very little about Rolex except what I've gleaned in a couple of hours on the web researching a watch I was left over 30 years ago.
Its an Rolex Oyster Perpetual Air King Super Precision.
I have the serial number and model number 5500 571039
I did at one time have the original box and purchase receipt, I'm pretty sure the receipt was dated 1958 or 1959.
As a young man I used to wear the watch and the original leather strap disintegrated, I got it replaced with a non rolex strap. Also when the original glass got quite heavily scratched I got that replaced.....I'm not sure if that is an original Rolex glass?
I would be really grateful if someone could give me some background to the watch........

Cheers
