Rolex Air King 116 900 versus 126 900. Which one do you prefer?
With or without crown guards?
I prefer the case of the first, without crown guards, but I really like the dial of the second.
If I had to vote, I would still go for the first, without crown guards, though.
You?
Best,
Nicolas

Second for me. I didn’t like the single figure 5 on the first. To me it spoils the dial.
My son agrees and loves his Air King. Regards Kev. ...
with crown guard and larger crown height
and -swiss-coronet-made @6 and larger pointer on hour hand tip
I'll go with the original here, Nico.
"Crown guards? We don't need no stinking crown guards!"
The first one!
All it really needs is a micro adjust clasp a la glidelock. And maybe a 3 day PR. I also prefer the single 5 versus the 05 and don’t mind that the 3-6-9 isn’t lumed. I’m probably in the minority here
I don't necessarily mind the crown guards,
But I definitely like the 05, gives the dial balance.
Ja ja ja!! By some reason my answer was posted twice! I already deleted the second one. So we keep the score 15-9 for the NCG! Lol!
I have been wearing my AK during all past week after a very long time residing in my bank safe. A very different Rolex it is with a lot of personality. I still prefer the NCG even if the number "5" looks a bit awkward. Abrazos amigo Nicolas!! Abel
