Is this a common air King?

Please tell me if this is a rare piece.

Thank you

That would be a very uncommon Air King
Looks like an Exp but is not signed as an Explorer.

That I believe is a 34mm Oyster perpetual no date, not an Air King model s/b 14200M although Ihave not seen that colour face before... reminds me of a Explorer I . Certainly a nice looking watch!

Yep, its an OP, not an AK or Exp....and if its sitting in your AD's case, its certainly not rare, otherwise it would be in the safe. Gheez the BS AD's come up with!

Yes it is an extremely rare Air King...so rare that you won't find another Air King that looks like that
