I asked my AD for an Airking in May 2021, he told me: the first one that will arrive is for you, I will get it to you in 1 or 2 months maximum.
Since then, he hasn't received one and I trust him to tell me the truth. |

I have had 2 Air Kings..the old style.
I bought the 1st in 1986 in Houston, TT gold, jubilee with white face & Roman Numerals. I got the 2nd in 1999 in Interlaken, Switzerland, SS AK. Loved em both. I don't really care for the newer ones |

Remember this time last year when everyone was so sure the JM and Plat Daytona's were not long for this world?
Yeah... Speculation is exactly that |

I'm with you on this, I'm never selling. Must admit wasn't too keen when first saw it but more I saw it I got my name down and loved it more every time I put it on. I don't care if it gets discontinued or stays as I have mine and I don't care about the value of it. Doesn't mean anything to me

Airking update from AD
Wouldn’t be surprised if it vanished this year. It was designed purely to echo the dials of the Bloodhound landspeed record attempt as the cars backup dials. The project ran out of money and Rolex gave up the sponsorship for the company taking it over. So it’s kinda a special watch with a fascinating modern history! Get one while you can!!!

It will very very very likely be discontinued or (hopefully) significantly redesigned soon. I am 100% sure it will go up in value when that happens. It will likely be along the same path as the white Milgauss or white OP39. They are 50-100 % above MSRP. The Air King is already part way there since the shortage has caused even it to sell at a premium on the grey market.
I still don't want one. Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk |

I have one and while I wear my LVc most of the time the AK is very different - continues to grow on me every time I wear it.

AD's know nothing.
They never did and they never will. Rolex shares production information with NO ONE ! People need to get this through their heads and stop the rumors. Especially the AD's.

Sellers just increasing the prices of these on a daily basis. I watched one on ebay go up from £7495 to £11495......needless to say its had no bids. If they discontinue the model it will go up more then tank like the 39mm Explorer did.Only fools will buy them at such lofty prices. One bunch of Instagram based greys promotes a classic line..'We don't sell watches....we sell investments' What tosh.

Yes, discontinue it and you'll see all the people criticizing it will want one when it becomes hard to get and the prices will go up like the Hulk. He who laughs last, laughs best.

I hope rolex keeps it just to have some diversity in its lineup.
But the oversized numbers remind me of Jitterbug phones. |
