A Bit of Vintage The Rolex Airking 5500

I thought  would blog about a couple of vintage Rolex’s In my collection, The Rolex Airking 5500 this dates to 1986 and is in true vintage unpolished form.  The Airking is 34mm with the crown which has a plexi glass not a sapphire crystal like most new Rolex’s have.  This particular model is very similar to the Rolex Explorer 1 they used the same casing and both had no date function. The movement was the Rolex 1520 precision, the Airking was considered to be a classic and very coveted model.
