Rolex Air-King
It has been more than twenty years since I bought my first Rolex, it was a second hand Rolex Date and all I could afford. Since than many Rolex models have been with me for a short or longer time. But back then and if until a few weeks ago I could have never imagined I would ever consider to buy an Air- King. It was my AD that asked me to try one on and it was instant love. What a strange and busy dial, but nevertheless a watch that you cannot take your eyes off. So, now I own one and I really enjoy wearing it. I have had GMT’s, Explorers, Submariners, Seadwellers, Daytona’s, Datejusts and even a Day Date, but this is by far the most original Rolex I have ever had.
