I just picked up my 114200 Air King from it's first service after 14 trouble free years.
I had the service performed by the Rolex watchmaker at my local Rolex dealership.
It's pretty special because this was my first Rolex watch.
I think it turned out great.
I also received a leather Rolex travel bag.
I also included a picture of the timing analysis.

Ready to start wearing it again after being out of my circulation for 4 weeks.

Happy Days!

My 16613LB Sub was serviced after 9 1/2 years of consistent service, being the one and only watch on my wrist.

The Rolex reliability is truly impressive.

4 weeks is not so bad. I was recently quoted up to 15 weeks from Rsc! Beautiful AirKing btw, much nicer than the current iteration!

I'm 2 days away from being 4 months waiting for my GMT. Dropping it off before the Christmas holiday did me no favors, but still...

Great watch. The first Rolex is always a keeper.

Bxtek · 31 March 2022, 12:00 PM

Nice dial! Very unique! The orange colored numbers against the blue dial really makes it stand out.

Alfa2109 · 31 March 2022, 01:06 PM

How nice to renew a piece with that kind of importance to you. Congratulations!

BNA/LION · 31 March 2022, 02:59 PM

Sweet!

Giangos · 31 March 2022, 03:35 PM

4 weeks!
I dropped off my GMT in November! I’m bloody annoyed now.
I’m going down there this weekend to carry on like an entitled fool. I think that will help.

Thank you for all the comments.

Harry-57 · 31 March 2022, 08:19 PM

Nice.

Now there's an Air King worth re releasing in a modern iteration if ever there was one.

rmlovett1 · 31 March 2022, 09:16 PM

Looks great! Very unique dial!

brandrea · 31 March 2022, 09:27 PM

I love it Jim, that’s one retro cool looking reference

Nice looking watch. Still waiting on mine which is at the Dallas RSC. Two year old DeepSea, losing chunks of time at night, 20 to 40 minutes. A four week time frame would be wonderful but, I'm suspecting it will be months. Lol.

Received my 39mm Explorer back one week shy of 4 months from the Long Island Center (RSC). No timing sheet included, but a green travel sheath was. Adjusted the timing, under warranty, no polish ask for nor done.

It looks great, I like the dial

Yeah, mine is at the Long Island Center (or hopefully in transit from). Paying for a full service so curious to see what comes back with the watch.

Love that watch! The concentric dial, the air-king signature, the colors. Love it. Thanks for posting.
