VERY nice triplets. . .

The one in the middle is an Air-King Date. This watch was sold exclusively in the British Commonwealth territories.

Reference numbers were: 5700 and 5701.

I am not sure the years in which the AKD was sold but I think I remember it was sometime between the 60s and 70s. I may be wrong though so if anyone else as info . . .

If you ever decide to get rid of it, just let me know. . .

Actually that is VERY kwel!!! . . . I don't know much about its worth but there are a couple of them on ebay at this moment, you could track the auctions and that should give you a good idea. You can see the auctions HERE and HERE.
