Good or Bad?

I made a trade today and was wondering what you great people might think? I traded my Tudor heritage blue for a newer Air King with the blue concentric dial. I have wanted an AK with this dial since I saw one a few years ago. So let me know what you think?

That's a pretty neat dial.

Do you think it was a good move? That is absolutely the only thing that matters.

You traded for the watch you've been wanting since you first saw it...I can approve that.

I also prefer that AK to the heritage blue. Good call IMHO!

If you've wanted it for years, rather than days or weeks (TRF syndrome), then you've done right.

I loved all my watches I have owned. From a Tudor big block to my current 16610 lv sub as well as my polar explorer ll. I equate it a changing of tastes and looks. I myself have 2 Rolxes and really that is all my budget will allow. I miss the others sometimes but I love the current watches that much more.
Enjoy your new pick up!

Great piece. It's the one you've been wanting for a while so I say it's a win! I'm personally not a huge fan of Tudor, so I think it's perfect. Enjoy your new watch!

If you're happy, that's all that counts.

The Air King is a special watch in my judgement.

Your happiness in the watch on your wrist should be the only thing that matters. As my wife informed me yesterday as she opened up the insurance paperwork, "you just lost a lot of money by trading your more expensive watch for your new Tudor." As I told her, comfort and my happiness is way more important than the perceived value on paper... Congrats and enjoy!

Not one negative comment so sounds like a good deal I would have done the same. I know which will be worth more in 10 years time. AK may well be the 1970's 911 of the future.

If you feel it will get more wrist time, then yes.
