Does anyone have an OP41 & an Air-King?
Looking to get an Air-King in addition to my OP41.

Why not! What color is your OP?

Not to answer your question fully, but I have an OP41 in Green. Love it.
To me, FWIW, the Airking is plenty different enough to own alongside an OP without clashing. Starkly different and simplistic in design the pair of them. I don't think you'd go wrong if you pulled the trigger. Keep us posted!! Happy hunting. Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk |

I have both, definitely different enough to warrant owning both...

The only thing the current AK and OP have in common is the lack of date and cyclops. Case shape, bracelet, clasp, crown guards are significant differences between the two references. Can definitely have both in a collection.

I own both, and they wear quite differently. The OP41 feels a just bit larger, while the AK has a slightly smaller presence but leans more toward a sports watch. Both can easily coexist in the same collection.

The OP41 is a great watch...... i had a the blue dial, however I decided to move it on as I wasn't wearing no where near as much as my AK. The dial size of the OP41 is surprisingly large and I felt that the dial was slightly out of proportion.
Saying that, my wife loves her OP31 turquoise dial....

Mutually Exclusive, not Collectively Exhaustive. Get ‘em both. Why not?!

Some find the AK's dial busy; I find it eye catching. The latest version is the best. As far as the OP is concerned, I prefer the 36mm version as the larger is a bit on the bland side. For me it would be the AK and the OP36.
