Just like the SD4k , which was probably the most UN-loved watch while it was produced, the Air-King will be the must have watch very soon.
The Air-King will soon hit $12k to $14k when production is stopped.
The Air-King will be the must have watch for the collector because of the short production run and it's brushed finish!

Indeed, I expected that in Aug. 2019 already and purchased a
new Air King 116900 new/
"in the stickers" for € 5.575,- in the Netherlands.
Today on Chrono24 you have to pay in Europe at least € 10.000,- (UK) to € 16.000,- (Germany).....and without stickers.
That is a plus of 80-187 % in only 2,5 years....
I expect the same for a
Yacht Master II 116680 / Blue Hands.........it is still low increasing however I expect it will overrule the Air King II in gain within the next 10 years.
I purchased a pre-owned Yacht Master in immaculate condition in Jan. 2019 for € 12.250,-........today you have to pay € 18.000,- and more.
This beloved / hated YM II in my opinion once will follow the path of the Daytona......(which was beloved/hated/widely discussed when issued)
I am pretty sure about it; especially for the edition with the "Blue Hands" which was manufactured in low numbers only for a very, very short time and thereafter was changed into a less characteristic and unclear "Rolex Hands" version.
