UGLY DUCKLING TO BLACK SWAN | ROLEX RESTORATION | CALIFORNIA DIAL 1940s. FIRST EVER AIRKING

In this video we will repair the damaged tube, service the movement, restore the case and sort out that poor dial.
This Rolex airking 4499 from around the World War 2 era needs a little tender loving care. It’s one of the earliest airking models to be made by Rolex. The war, aircraft, pilots and timekeeping as their source of inspiration for the airking models.
