If they'd make a few small tweaks the Air King could easily slide up to #3. I like the little hits of color on it and I can get over the mix match of hour/minute numbers. What I can't get over is the utter lack of lume but for the 12 o'clock marker. If those 3/6/9 markers had been the lumed ones from the new ExpI then the Air King would rank much higher for me.

I completely agree that the Air King would be the dogs bollocjs if they had added lume to the number markers. I reckon they will fix this when they release the Speed King assuming the Bloodhound breaks the land speed record.

For me,

1. Exp I
- Sub
- Exp II
4. Milguass
5. Air King

I can't split the Sub and Exp II at the moment which really isn't helping as I'm looking at purchasing one of them.

rph08 · 19 June 2017, 09:13 AM

Explorer
Submariner
Explorer II
Air King
Milgauss

I put the Explorer ahead of the 114060. The current Explorer is a really good looking watch, and IMHO is better proportioned than the Submariner. However, I'd put a 14060(m) above any version of the Explorer. To me the Sub and polar, Explorer II, 16570 are pretty much tied for second. The Air King is fine, but the dial is too busy, and I just don't care for the Milgauss at all.

GradyPhilpott · 19 June 2017, 09:31 AM

How about if I rank five watches I have from the Rolex/Tudor lines:

Rolex:
116710BLNR
14060M
114270
116200 63600

Tudor:
70330N

Nairn1980 · 19 June 2017, 07:54 PM

Sub
Exp1
Air-King
EXP2
Milgauss

I'm basing this on the UK and what sits around AD windows. Subs are definitely top, with exp1 and AK sometimes found in windows but still with small lists at some ADs. ADs have told me they sell pretty quick when they do come in. EXP2 and Milgauss are lovely watches but always hang around AD windows.

That's what I've based my answer on, don't shoot me lol

The rest aren't on my radar. Air King has the same case with anti-magnetic properties as the Milgauss, and is better looking and cheaper too.

How did you get inside my head and steal my exact thoughts

3. Blue Milgauss
4. Explorer 39mm
5. Air king

We agree!!!

encarter13 · 19 June 2017, 11:29 PM

Looks like I am the only one that would rank them this way:

Sub
Exp II
AK
Exp I
Mil

Rockrolex · 19 June 2017, 11:37 PM

My ranking would be:

1. GMT-II (pre-ceramic)

2. EXP-II (white dial)

I travel across time zones enough that the 2nd time zone feature is quite useful. Everything else leaves me cold. I particularly hate the Sub (in all its incarnations).

2. Explorer II
3. Blue Milgauss
4. Explorer 39mm
5. Air king

Please share your rankings and thoughts below

If I was a diver, the Sub would be an obvious number 1. If I was an Engineer, the Milgauss would top the list and if I wanted something under the radar, I would list the 39mm Explorer.

There is no real answer to this question.

I love threads like this. Here's mine:

1. Explorer II
2. Submariner
3. Blue Milgauss
4. Air King
5. Explorer

I love every one of these watches, but someone has to be number 5. But I'd gladly rock an Air King or an Explorer and most likely will one day.

I actually dig the Airking. I think it has character.

Exactly the same order as yours:

1. Submariner
2. Explorer II
3. Blue Milgauss
4. Explorer - 39mm
5. Air King

Of these, I have only owned an Explorer II. I sold it last week (at a 40% profit over what I paid for it in 1999 - amazing!) because I never seemed to wear it unless I made a special effort to do so.
