Just picked this up this morning. They've done a great job with the new solid bracelet and clasp. Case shape has changed too. Rolex around Rehaute aswell.

Needed an update for a long time.

Very nice. I've always liked the Airking. Congratulations

kcmo · 4 June 2008, 02:41 AM

No doubt the new look is great and i truely like the Airking but i really don't like the "Airking" font.
It's the one thing that spoils it for me.

Actually Martin, the font is what I like best about the AK. Differet strokes I guess.

Very nice AK. Clean and simple looking..

Love the AirKing!!!

DSJ · 4 June 2008, 12:16 PM

Nice AK. I too like the "Air King" font.

Widows Son · 4 June 2008, 02:47 PM

I have a 1991 AK with a white face and all markers. It's a beautiful classic looking watch. Your's is a real beauty, but not sure that the AK needed an "upgrade." I suspect most AK owners like the understated looks of the AK.

Steven79 · 4 June 2008, 11:11 PM

very nice! i just wish the bezel looked different.

wear it in good health!

Brushpup · 4 July 2008, 12:06 AM

I love the font too, but especially the engine bezel...................love that bezel!

Welshwatchman · 4 July 2008, 12:16 AM

It looks excellent, a throwback to the much lamented classic Rolex style.

I always imagine that 34mm would be way too small for my wrist but every time I see a wrist shot it seems to fit like a glove, and that's not on small wrists either.

k4vks · 4 July 2008, 06:07 AM

truly a classic. too bad my wrists are too big to pull that off :(

Baptistman · 4 July 2008, 03:37 PM

X2. The font is one of the best parts about this watch. Very vintage...looks like something you would see on the side of an old PanAm airline back in the day.

RW16610 · 5 July 2008, 08:54 AM

LOVE that watch.

marshallr47 · 6 July 2008, 09:40 AM
