On Dec 21st he posted that he bought the watch by starting a new thread.

I really like it - 36mm isn't a problem, my air king is 34mm and I think its big enough. Not a huge fan of the models that have oyster perpetual in a circle. I would consider a datejust too.

OP - since you bought the watch and have it, what do you think about it? Is 36mm enough? What's it like not having a date?

Are you reevaluating your purchase because you shouldn't be its a great watch!

RRGHOST1 · 16 January 2012, 10:23 AM

Not a great favourite of mine but its still an ok watch.

seand442 · 16 January 2012, 11:33 AM

Not a fan personally but I'm not wearing it. If you like it, go for it.

zacharylough · 16 January 2012, 12:17 PM

For some reason, I don't like the AirKing... Maybe its just me though.

Haven't actually tried one on, so maybe I have no room to talk

Enjoy it though. Its a Rolex!!!!

after a month of wearing it i can tell its a great watch comfortable 36mm is fine, i dont really have a big wrists i posted a picture earlier, as for the watch it keeps perfect time within a second a day, the lume is quite nice on the dial that i purchased, lume is on the numbers and batons + no date makes everything symmetric and clean, a pure classic

ltdsands · 30 January 2012, 02:05 PM

Mat, is this an everyday watch for you or do you find it more of a dress watch? I always liked the look of the 116000 OP lighter dial as it is so different than my other watches. I just can't decide if I can carry if off everyday. I don't want it to look out of place, so I am leaning slightly towards the new explorer. The size of 36 to 39mm is the only thing I am sure of!. Damn you rolex damn you :-)

Feras · 30 January 2012, 02:46 PM

Sorry, people but this can't substitute any Explorer no matter what :P
But it can be a good entry to the Rolex world, and can be worn by your partner too

imono · 31 January 2012, 08:27 AM

Here is one with a different dial.
Black Arab 3 6 9 pink.

FNFZ4 · 12 February 2012, 05:33 AM

wait isnt Air Kings 34MM why is this one 36?

ingmar · 12 February 2012, 05:38 AM

I had this particular model as a companion piece to the 36 Explorer. Honestly I loved the look of the watch & the detail. I liked the lack of polished links & the overall size.

BUT - I found it difficult to read.

I'm not sight challenged (thanks lasik) but the contrast between the hands & the dial is pretty minimal.

So as a wrist accessory, it's great. As a timepiece, it didn't work for me.

Sorry...You're mad. Enough!

Mods? Go!

What you have said here is way out of line. Way out.

Im still considering how I'm going to respond to your posting here.

dalip · 13 February 2012, 11:42 AM

In any case I'm closing this thread as the OP has bought the watch in question. You can congratulate him on his purchase in the thread he started about that.

Welshwatchman · 13 February 2012, 12:08 PM

I must say that I missed the 316 post first time round, what with all the threads/posts there are to read.

Did this guy ever miss the mark with his thoughts?

Not good at all. So very rude.
