New addition
My father bought this Air king 8 yrs ago whilst on holiday in Edinburgh.
I've always thought it was classy and timeless. My dad just bought a co axial seamaster professional, and wanted to sell his airking at a local jewellers . The local jewellers was going to make a tidy profit on it which I told my father . So I went to the bank and gave him more than the jewellers would,I now have my dads watch in the best of circumstances 😉 |

You did the right thing. Now you can hand it down to a son or daughter.

Good for you. I would have also wanted to keep that watch in the family and eventually pass it along. Wear it in good health.
