Picked this up earlier this year while on a trip to Hong Kong. The dealer said he bought it back from Europe, which is where it's back now (UK), although not for much longer as we have decided to leave the EU. Dates to 1957, no lume, this dial has some pitting, and the date wheel could do with changing, but it sang to me, and suppose that's all that counts.
Wow! I like your Air King too. Great patina. Mine is a 5700. I had to search for some time to locate one I liked as I read they were only sold in some Commonwealth Countries (where I am not located). Once again great DateJust. I like the bezel and is the dial stepped?
Think the bezel is referred to as coin edge, and I think the dial is stepped. I also have a 5700, but from 1969.
6605 DJs rule. Some of the most stunning vintage watches ever made, on par with the vintage constellations and conquests. Mine says hi.
Nice collection! Your 5700 reminds me of my 5500 from 1977. Great photos by the way. Sorry for my poor phone screen grabs. Thank you for sharing.
My 1953 6424 currently in for service. Also came with original stretch bracelet 75 ends 1/54, needs repair as springs are broken.
This is a fantastic thread. Let's keep it going. To the OP, if you wish, change the thread topic to "Early/Vintage Rolex-show us yours!", or something like that, so it's not limited to 6605s only.
