AD walk in purchase last week
Went to my local AD to see about engraving a watch for a gift, and was able to see and try on several watches that had arrived the day before. The titanium
Yachtmaster amazed me at how light it was when compared to my 2000 era platinum Yachtmaster. While trying on other models I casually asked what could I go home with and low and behold I was offered a 40mm explorer, Air king, and a Yachtmaster with the light blue hands. So I ended up taking home the Air king, as I already have a Yachtmaster. Also enjoyed an ice cold Stella Artois while I was having the band sized. I’ve been fortunate to be offered multiple Rolexes this past year and purchased 3 Rolexes from the AD. |

As to the titanium Yachtmaster, just my two cents, but I like feeling some weight when I am wearing a Rolex,or any watch for that matter. Of course flying under the radar with the subdued looks of that model would be interesting. Watch crazy people ( like me) would spot it from a distance and smile knowingly as we would be in the company of another person who appreciates timepieces.

When is enough enough
You would have thought I’d be out of the watch buying mode as three weeks ago while in Scottsdale, and visiting the cool mall there, I brought home these 3 pieces.

Very nice choice. The recent updates to the AK have really elevated it from a quirky reference to one desired by many.
Congrats and enjoy! |

Congratulations on your new Airking its one of the longest production runs of any Rolex started way back in the 1940s.And today underrated by some but its a great watch with a lot of history,but like all ADs they are in business for one thing only.And that's to sell as many of the products to anyone who enters there retail store.

I never really looked into the storied history of the Air King until now. The watch changed over the decades,yet the name carried on over the years and being a history buff,really makes me appreciate the model even more!
Thanks everyone on the comments and happy watch collecting |
