Rolex

Hi

 


Great to hear you are looking at the AirKing.

I’m very happy with mine, I like the fact that it’s a bit of an odd ball Rolex. I bought it as a casual watch that I can wear and enjoy on a daily basis and for me it fits that perfectly. I have not had any timing problems that I have noticed (but it’s not something I monitor closely).

I recommend going and trying it on at the AD see how it feels and if it works for you.

Also, if you are not wanting a new watch, have a look at the old ref. 116900 it doesn’t have the crown guards and the watch has a slightly different look so it’s also worth checking out.

Look forward to hearing what you decide 😀

Glad to see you’re treating your AirKing like the honest sport watch it is +++

Thanks you!

I promised myself when I got it that I wouldn’t mollycoddle it, and I’m mostly succeeding 😀 Happy new year!

Thanks Bill

But I could not resist it, which sounds a weird thing to be tempted by 🤔

Thanks Brandon!

Hard to believe but winter swimming is really popular here, so I guess living with the crazy Danes has rubbed off a bit. Have a great 24.

Took the plunge in the swedish lakes. Brave man!!!

I’m looking to get the Air King this spring. Are you happy with yours? Any issues? Does it run within the -2 + 2 daily spec? Best wishes for a happy and healthy 2024.

I bought its predecessor for my son for his 18. birthday. A great watch he loves immensely and wears almost day and night. 🙏☺️ All the best Thomas ...  

Thanks Thomas

That’s great to hear your son wears his watch daily. I like the previous interation too and it was the model that originally caught my eye 😀

What I definitely like more on your version is

the „05“ instead of the „5“ on the dial. For my taste more logical in terms of design. On the other hand I am not sure / indifferent regarding the optical effect of the new crown guards. They make sense for sure (design should always follow function), but...
