Great watch the Airking and one of Rolex longest production watches ever, but IMHO still looks better on original bracelet.

Ceb · 30 December 2021, 07:45 PM

Great watch, love mine and it gets lots of wrist time. Looks much nicer on the bracelet

I think you might have predicted the AirKing 2022 new release. We all know how Rolex likes to disappoint us with their incremental change for new releases.

Nice model.

What would really change the landscape would be if they only sold it with leather strap!

travisb · 30 December 2021, 08:39 PM

Congrats on the addition!

Congrats, I think it looks great on that leather strap, good match!

Grapenut · 31 December 2021, 12:09 AM

Looks great, and lovely collection.

Mind sharing what brand that strap/band storage case is? Need something like that to help organize things.

rmwill · 31 December 2021, 12:47 AM

Long live the King! Love funky references like this.

subx · 31 December 2021, 12:58 AM

BGTREND is the brand. Bought it off of Amazon. It has a built in zipper pouch for the Patek date pusher and springbar tool. I enjoy it enough to say you might too. Especially at the price they charge.

“BGTREND Watch Bands Carrying Case for 35 Watch Bands, Watch Band Holder and Organizer Compatible with Apple Watch Bands and Other Accessories, Gray”

Much appreciated!

Slimpee · 31 December 2021, 02:45 AM

I think this is a cool piece, especially on that strap!

I liked it enough to text my SA to see if she by any chance has one to look at.

LA_LEC · 31 December 2021, 03:28 AM

Congrats on a unique and cool Rolex!

Meyrin · 31 December 2021, 04:28 AM

When I first saw one I thought "WTF?". But it really has grown on me over time.

Definitely Rolex´s odd-ball, but then I've always liked odd-balls! It's so completely different! Congrats and do wear it and enjoy it, and to hell with what other people think! (I do think it looks best on the Oyster bracelet, but that´s just me!)

-dustin · 31 December 2021, 04:44 AM

big fan.

looks a bit small next to that BP43.

JoseR · 31 December 2021, 04:45 AM

My first Rolex and I love it.

congrats and enjoy.

[mention]ChaseATX [/mention] Have you considered taking flying lessons with all of those pilot watches?

DJFanUK · 31 December 2021, 09:24 AM

Underrated by many but I can't help but love mine. Congratulations, on a great pick up.

New Years resolution. Use the watches for their marketing intended purpose.

Is there any "rhyme or reason" from those who know AirKing why this dial is the way it its?

Joking but it almost looks like they said "Hey we have those old Explorer 3,6,9's lets us 'em up".

I stare at it and stare at it and love the look but the 3,6,9 and the 5,10,3,20,25,6,35 bla bla bla does my head in.
