Hi All,

I came across this interesting looking Air King Date. The owner has told me that it is all original, and it looks to be true. I am currently considering this watch. It is priced at around $2150 CAD. Would this be over priced?

More importantly, there is something engraved on the caseback of the watch. But I cannot quite make out what it is. Nor what it means. Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.

As always, any history, information about the movement, this specific model, or anything out of the norm would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

The watch looks authentic, if you like the patina on the dial. Almost looks like a thumbprint from someone holding it on the date site, which then corroded. But then I have a fair imagination.

The price however, is far too high for this one, even in better condition.

If that early example was in stellar condition, I'd say go for it if you had liked it, but as others have said, it's overpriced as is.

Overpriced without the bracelet. If it were mint, that price would be reasonable.

Looks a bit shagged out for that kind of money, hard to look at the dial without being a little bothered by it.
