A class watch..the black dial is superb
As is the green in the rolex and minute hand
The numbers are loved by some and hated by others..
Fabulous...enjoy

And such a great piece at that. Congratulations! The Air King imho is one of the most underrated pieces. Love the green accents.

What’s the crow. Size on this watch? Is it the same diameter as the milgauss?

Great pick up! Congrats. Picked one up myself last week at an AD. I love it. The splash of color is awesome. I think this is the sleeper Rolex nowadays. If you can get one at the AD it’s a keeper. If it gets discontinued, as has often been speculated, that will only increase its value in the future.

So cool. I am buying one next to pair with my Polar Exp2. Both watches which you never see in the wild. Ironically I see far more Daytona than AirKings

Might be the cheapest but still really cool. I got mine years ago and the dial is still awesome.

I think what would hurt the value of this watch is if Rolex does to it what they did with the explorer and add lime to the 3 6 9.

I might pick this up today.

Yea I might and just as I mentioned in the post that you e linked here, I almost bought it previous. Read the post and you’ll see where I mentioned that I might purchase it in the future. Non of this is relevant of course because the post was about the state of Rolex and not about the watch.

I’ve been waiting for someone on here to do what you’ve done here. Rolexforum has a lot of bullies these days.

Have a great day
