A great story first (but not the stolen part), and a cult Rolex perhaps.
Feb 24, 2020,16:18 PM
It’s a funny one this Air King. I have this feeling that if it ever went away there would be many of us here thinking “we missed that one”. Not because of anything monetary but because of it being an un Rolex Rolex, usual and different, and against the grain a little.

Rolex Air King 116900: 2d Birthday.
By: amanico : February 24th, 2020-10:57
I shared the story of my Rolex Air King 116 900 several times. How I almost bought it, then how I bought it, how it was stolen to me two weeks after, and how I was gifted it due to the incredible generosity of this community of ours. The link is here: Th...

What a great story

The Rolex Airking is a king 🗽. For me it is the first Rolex i’d got information searched, because it is the cheapest one. In a time i was a poor man in terms of economics. That Gassan cap is evidence you shop there? I’ve got a limited edition Longines wat...
Very special Rolex airking

Unbelievable. Be very secured for your Rolex. Gassan is an AD who breath Rolex to all their veins. Rolex can be proud on such an AD. Longines have very good relations with Gassan, and IWC is at the right adres. Maybe i buy a new Ulysse Nardin Executive du...

Fresh, great color combo (the only rolex with a yellow crown!). And of course the freshness and coolness of the watch. Happy to hear you enjoy, because i enjoy mine a lot 😀 ...
It is indeed...

It’s amazing during my visit to Paris...

There were 1 in CDG and 1 in PV ready for purchase but gone were the days, not that long ago if you think about it. Like your comments, I just wished there was lume on the numerals and would have jump on it.
Great post, Nico!

It still looks great on you and you obviously share some great moments with it. I can’t believe it is two years ago now. How time flies! Best Christian

I remember your post from one year ago. Seeing your photos with your daughter and your Rolex was very moving. I am as impressed today as I was before by the quality of the friendships you have nurtured. I can only congratulate you on your Air King and aga...
Remember
By: Jurry : February 25th, 2020-02:19
I remember this story all too well as it occurred when just had discovered this forum and started to “get into it”. It was great to see how your personal story became a group story of and I’m sure that those who were involved will see it a bit as their pe...
Dear Nico,
By: MTR : February 25th, 2020-12:04
what a wonderful relationship full of deep feelings and thoughts. That is what our „hobby“ and enthusiasm is for. We are talking about feelings, friendship, memories and ... addiction. Wear your Airking in best health for many, many years to come and with...
