Found a Rolex that I really like, I already have two and sure don't need another. Saw the 3-6-9 white dialed AirKing the other day and it really caught my eye in a big way. No date does not matter to me anymore, my eyes are bad enough that I really can't see it without glasses anyway.
Considering trading one I have for it but have not decided yet, or which one if I do. Figure this would go with everything from very casual to business suits, which I rarely wear anymore, mostly wear business casual. Maybe it's just a brief "wild hair" but this watch really interests me. Would be smaller than my DJ but that would not bother me I don't think.

they are very sharp watches, especially the 3-6-9 white dialed one & as we all know Rolexes always wear bigger when on the wrist......and they're adaptable can be worn any time anywhere.

Air King is a beautiful watch Thomas, kind of simple, yet elegant. It's not my cup of tea but if it is singing to you, then by all means, get that thing on your wrist!

Certainly looks like one has caught your eye.

Hope to see pics soon.

Hey Thomas,
If you like the Air-King, go for it! I think that they are a great watch. I am in the same situation as you, I can't see that date unless I put on my glasses. I even tried on a GMT II with the cyclops window, and still couldn't see it. As long as I can see the hands to tell the time, I am OK.
The Air-King has some really great dial selections. The 3-6-9 is great. Three of my Omegas are 36mm, and I find that is a great size. I think the Air-King is 34 or 35mm? I tried on an Air-King and liked the size. My wrist is pretty average, about 7.25in.
Cheers,
Carl

The AK is a nice watch, but small by contemporary standards. Perhaps find some larger models with similar dials to compare.

Cheers

The Air-King is a great watch - many dial variations at a very reasonable price.
