Air King 3-6-9 numbers and markers coloured?

[ansharma]

Hi all

A few years ago I think I tried on an Air King with the 3-6-9 dial format where the 3-6-9 is coloured as were the stick markers.

Can't quite remember but I think it had a silver dial and the numbers were coloured salmon/pink with the stick markers blue or might have been the other way around! Can't seem to find it, am I imagining this or does it exist?

Thanks for your help - pictures would be great

I've become comfortable with smaller sized watches so was thinking of adding an Air King to my collection

They were bright orange, not salmon or pink. Both orange dials were discontinued years ago. I haven't seen one in an AD since 2010.

The more I see of the Air King, the more I like it! What a great looking watch wih so many variations. I can totally see this being my next Rolex! I need to get to the AD and start trying them on. It will get dangerous for my wallet once I start doing that!

The white dial with black 369 is sublime. I've seen a few out and about, and in my opinion, it's the one to get

Not to hijack the thread at all, but I'm curious to find out if a G serial Air-King would have the L.E.C. on the sapphire?

It should.

here s mine, silver with blue markers.
I just got this but are now wondering if I should have gone for the Perpetual instead. I m sure they would not swap me with screwing me.
I love the color esp in the outside light.

I like your dial combo. I think it was the right choice.

This is the one that I bought my wife. I was going to resize it every once in a while so that I can wear it as well, but I was too used to 39mm watches and I find it kinda hard to wear a 34mm. But my wife happily wears my watches with ease...

I think the best looking for that style is the Oyster Perpetual with the black 3-6-9 dial & pink markers. I'm a guy who's not against a little bit of pink here & there, & I've thought of picking that one up for awhile now, but I'm too worried that my wife might abduct & adopt it!

:edit: To add, it's not really about the size for me, as I have Air Kings in my collection, but what I prefer about the OP version of these models is that all the markers have luminous, and not just the sticks.

I like the pink color on both the AK and OP

I'm really sad Rolex dropped so many OP and AK dials. Those concentric a were nice and fun but apparently sold badly. I guess the average Rolex customer didn't want "fun" haha

Yeah, I've got one on order right now ...but then, I'm not the average Rolex customer
