1981 Air King 5500

[ericgwoo]

So before I fully got into watches, I bought this Air King on a whim from a jeweler that was recommended. It wasn’t a great selection and I was naive and just bought it. No box / no papers. Never gave it much thought until recently.

Wanted to know if what I bought is the genuine article.

Serial number puts it at 1981. Model number is present at the 12 o clock.

The case is either overly polished or something else because there is no sign of any brushed / satin to it.

It’s definitely not a sapphire glass , more like plastic.

I don’t have much knowledge on the Air King. So if anyone has any insight , it would be much appreciated.
