Well I have come down to getting an Air King or the new Bretiling Colt GMT. So I was wondering for those of you who have an Air King to post some pics so I can look at the simple beauty of the Air King and just buy one already.

Air King and Bretiling Colt GMT is a total different watch in terms of size, design, etc!

Maybe similiar history of aviation watches..

I hope to see some good AK pics, they are nice watches!

AAMD11 · 22 March 2010, 04:48 PM

Yep I know they are completely different watches, however, I have narrowed it down to these two.

sakuraba · 22 March 2010, 05:18 PM

Here's a pic of mine. I've had it for a while now, and absolutely no regrets.

Good luck on your search!

Here is a 10 year old Air King. Great watch and very wearable!

Nice shots!

Nice

twlgt · 2 April 2010, 03:07 AM

I know that this wasn't your question, but I recently flipped a Breitling SO, pretty much the same watch as the colt but just slightly bigger. I think you'd be better of with a AK, but that is just my opinion. I didnt like the way the SO fitted the wrist but this is ofcourse a personal matter.

Here are a couple of shots of my 14010M:

Bretiling

My hubby was always fond of his Air King.

couple of shots of my lovely 14010

sorry for terrible picture I shot with blackberry

Lion · 21 April 2010, 08:42 AM

Wow, I enjoyed all the photos of a very nice but simple Rolex...

Go AK, you'll love it!

mywifespissed · 30 April 2010, 01:41 PM

I don't currently have an Air King. BUT, it's a no-brainer to get the Rolex. The Breitling uses an outsourced movement, the Colt will probably be a flash-in-the-pan model. The Air King has a 60+ year pedigree and will always be in style!!

P.S. Huge watches are stupid. A consequence of obesity, like our fat-assed love of the SUV and the McMansion.

"huge" is relative. I'm sure the PAM boys get a good laugh when we complain about 43mm.

Also, the professional watches were built with a purpose in mind - dial visibility. Seems like a good selling point regardless of whether you actually use the watch for its intended purpose or not.

Thanks for sharing all the pics!

He never (naturally) compensated me for the damage and I sold it for 1/2 what I bought it for. Don't let friends or family borrow money or wear your fine watches
