depends on the stack heights of the 2 headsets, the length of the steerer on the fork and the crown race dimensions. stack height is probably the most crucial here since I bet the crown races are both ISO.

You shouldn't have a problem. The Dura Ace headset is listed with a stack heights of 37.6mm, vs the Chris King #2 nut with a height of 37.4mm.
If the seller is honest you're in great shape.

Chris King headsets have a great reputation as do Dura Ace. All I'm saying is that the two are both high quality, and plug compatible. So it'll fit, but any decision about what it's worth or whether or where to buy is strictly your call, and I neither advise for or against.
