Vintage '59 Air King
New to this forum, and just picked up my first Rolex. Had an Omega, Cartier, and some other watches, but was drawn to the vintage styling of a '59 Air King that I found recently, as well as the price of $1600. It has been fully serviced by Rolex last month, and has a replacement aftermarket band that I am debating replacing with an original Rolex one. Here are some pics of my new addition.

If Rolex just serviced it, how does it have an aftermarket band?
