So I was curious after reading threads about the Air-King here and decided to visit my AD for a try today.

At 34mm it looked kind of small but it was comfy. No links were removed as my wrist is 7.5", and it did not feel tiny at all.

Quality I expect from Rolex, and value for money, costing a little over half the cost of a brand new SubC.

I chose the blue dial because it shimmered and caught my eye. A nice addition to any collection and a nice first Rolex for anyone, imho.

Just a quick pic, thanks for reading :)

A beautiful watch.

joe100 · 4 March 2014, 09:58 PM

Well-found!

Same movement as the Sub and half the price. Makes you wonder.

Great dial choice too

Its a cracker, I ahve a number of nice watches and I always stare at my colleagues Rolex Date, you are the proud owner if a Rolex don't justify the price vs Suc or any other model, you have a cracker that will last 50 years and looks great on your wrist.
