Please find 2 wristshots of the Daytona and for me, the star of the show (or at least of the 2016 Rolex collection), the Air King: Fx...  

I think I will get one...

The only downside for me is that I already have the same case & movement with my Milgauss. Fx

It is strange...looking at the photos..

I did not find the Air King attractive but the more I look at il the more I like it Best Christian

It is a strange watch blending some different elements of style which...

Actually I\'ve already asked for a Demo at my Rolex boutique here. Am pretty tempted, although I also have the Milgauss GV, but these two have 2 very distinct characters.. Thx for the nice wristshots & Best, hs

I think that Rolex have done a great job over the last 2-3 years.....

Steel Daytona. Air King. GMT pepsi and batman SD 4000 To be fair, I think there have been some really nice modern renditions. If i compare the situation to, say, 5 years ago, Rolex appear to have upped the game a lot. Maybe thats thanks to Tudor?

agree...but that was 8 years ago.....

....and i remember for some time there complaint was that there was very few good modern Rolex. Yet now, we have quite a wide choice. I have to say, I think its hard to choose today's "BEST" modern Rolex.....there are many contenders...all worthy

Daytona Ceramic bezel is nice!

AirKing I really don\'t know to be honest Thanks Fx for the pics! Cheers Robin

Love the Daytona, hope to get one by late summer.

The Air King also looks very nice - clean, crisp and superbly clear. Perhaps someone can confirm the difference between this and the Milgauss aside from the hands and dial, is the shielding different?
