Icon20 Air King 5500 Buckley Dial legit?

My first post! :) and it’s a question about a vintage piece I’m hoping someone can shed some light on.

I purchased an old Air King and I’m curious about whether or not it’s been re-dialed. The dial on this 1974 5500 is a Buckley. I can’t find any legit reference - for example, from Rolex, or online reference materials, that suggest it was ever dialed as such.
There are a number of pieces for sale on the likes of eBay, but they’ve clearly been re-dialed as they’re chrono-certified, and no 5500 was ever certified.

So I’m thinking this piece was re-dialed from a 14000, of which they did a number of a Buckley’s.

What do you guys think? Thank you!!! 🙏🏼
