Icon1 New Air King 116900 or Date 34mm 115234 Diamond black dial

Hello,

I need some suggestion on pick which watch is better pick!
Between New Air King 116900 vs Date 34mm 115234 Diamond black dial
They both are similar price to buy. Which one you folks think is more worth? And why?
Which one is you style and why?
Please give me some opinions on them and will be very helpful, because I'm asking the Rolex lovers not someone outside that don't know much or just a sale person, I need your honestly words!

Thank you,

big difference in size. I like 34 mil watches myself, but many consider them small. I'd go for the Date with diamond black dial. It's step up from an Air King, even though the new AK is bigger. But to each his own -- you can't go wrong with either!

I know! It is a set up from air King and the size being 34mm actually can do a lot physical work like going to a gym and beach and other active things. Also with the Diamond and white gold maker with the bezel are such nice combo. Only thing is that the watch Have been out for almost 7-8 years. where the air King is 2016 brand new model.
Such difficult decision to make!

Both watches are beautiful. If I were you, I will decide the size then the dial.

Good thought. Size first or dial first?

it really sounds like diamonds are important in your criteria for a watch. then i would suggest you go back to the choice in your other thread, the DJII. while i like my airking, i'm not sure it gives you want you really want.

It's bigger in size, features anti magnetic shield, feels heavy even after taking off the BLNR,unique dial design, proper size crown ��.

So many people are put off by the 3-6-9 being so different to the rest of the dial, but in real life they just aren't that visible.

All the photos I'd seen of it were from straight on and lit to show all the numbers, so I really didn't like it. I read an article that said about the numbers not being so obvious and that made me look at some videos. That made me visit an AD to see one and that led me to getting on their waiting list (the only one there was the manager's own watch, which he was kind enough to let me try).
