Nicolas (amanico) shares his profound appreciation for the Rolex Air-King ref. 116900, a modern reference he describes as daring and full of character. His initial post captures the essence of this unique timepiece, highlighting why it stands out in Rolex's contemporary catalog. This article delves into amanico's perspective and the community's insights on a watch that continues to spark discussion among collectors.

Saying that I am in love with this watch is a weak way to describe it. 







This is one of these rare modern Rolex I really like, for what it is: Daring, crazy, young, inspired, fresh. 

A real character! 

And I am sure more and more will fall under its charm.

Best,

Nicolas

This particular example is very special 😉 and just by chance you posted a photo of your princess, reminding me of the special moment we spent the 3 of us together for the gifting ceremony… when I came to remit you the watch on behalf of a number of Purists. You remember ? 😉 Nice memories…
