We'll see what happens in the first quarter of next year and AD's were able to move their entire Christmas allocations.

Congrats on the watch, of course. The tweaks to the AK were very nice, in my opinion.

I know that the SouthFlorida ADs were super busy with the Christmas season in the last week.. Rolex sent them a lot of gold ones in the last batches.. but they sold everything in the previous days. All the Mayors, Boutiques, Kirks etc were fully crowded with people buying anything.;;.

Let's see if the fever continues in January....

I do think that the Air King is the least popular SS model, judging from the gray market prices. I happen to really like it, but I think that those are just the facts; you're much more likely to find one at an AD that's been there for a few days vs. almost any other model at this time.

Congratulations!
