There's something about AK's in blue that makes them look so cool. Great watch, man!

I'm not a historian or anything but, I think it came from the fact that Rolex made watches for the British AF during WWII.

That model is so classy! I have always thought they looked fantastic. Much more on the wrist than the box. Dial is so clean and uncluttered. Its timeless looking.

AK was the first good watch I bought, in 1988. Still have it. Still love it.

Cheers,

Chris
