First post, first Rolex. :-D
Hello all,
I am a proud new member of the Rolex community, and I have what I hope to be a lifetime Rolex as my first one! I purchased this from a fine forum member, although by way of a different website where I spotted the watch.   Rolex Air King, c. 1987. Fully serviced/documented, with all original things/both boxes (even the hang-tags). It was a safe queen for 20+ years and was recently fully serviced/polished/etc. I think it's fantastic. I was afraid it would be too small, but I think it looks great on my 7.5" wrist. Very happy! |

Looks great! I'm always surprised when I see what I think would be "too small" watches to me on others' wrists. They look terrific!
When I was in the Navy, our Air Ops (CDR Yeager) had a couple of DJ's and an Air King, and I always thought they looked great on him. Enjoy! |
