Hi my name is Angel and I would like to buy my first rolex. I liked this used Air King 14000, but I'm not sure if the dial is original, due to the position of the rolex logo. Can anyone confirm if it's original? Thanks a lot.
The info of this rolex is:
Rolex air king 14000 , 1991, 34mm
Sapphire crystal
is it look like this no?

What do you think is wrong with the position of the Rolex logo?

The one thing…about Rolex…of this period, is the very high consistency of their quality control

Some of the lume dots are off, as well

Walk away…

Do I see chips near the 1:00 on the crystal. It looks to me as though this watch may have had a rough life. Bruised links on the bracelet at the 12:00. Can you have the watch checked out before you buy it?

Earlier, I commented that this watch is not a self-winder (automatic winding). That was wrong. Usually, when the word PRECISION is on the dial, the watch is a manual winder. This one is automatic. As mentioned, this one appears to have had a bit of rough wear, and if possible, it would be smart to have it looked at before you buy it.

There are plenty of airking’s or 34 mm perpetual’s out there, so I would go for one in the best condition with box and papers.
