This is a recently-painted icon
commissioned by me from an English Iconographer/nun, after the style of a very old Romanian icon. Perhaps camels were unknown in that region and time.
Here is a camel for you:
Happy Three Kings Day! Feliz Dia de Reyes!
Hello Friends! Happy Dia de Reyes! Three Kings Day! Every 6th of January we celebrate those three Wise Men who followed a Bright Star which signaled them the place of the birth of Jesus more than two thousand years ago. Every night of the 5th of January o...
Thanks a lot my dear friend Nicolas!! Glad to arrive to the Gang!! Yes, I feel it is an addictive watch indeed. Still need to size its bracelet and take its plastic off!...
... Have a beautiful Three Kings Day my dear friend! Feliz Dia de Reyes Nicolas! Abrazos! Abel,
The more precise the manufacturing and fit, the more beautiful & troublesome the bracelet becomes 🙁
Here are your Kings, Abel. Cazalea ...
You are absolutely right dear Mike!! Thanks a lot for the beautiful depiction of the Three Kings!! Interesting to note they ride horses in your Icon...
... Many pictures show them in camels as well and here in my Country we usually think of them riding on camels as well. Have a nice Epiphany/Kings day my friend! Cheers! Abel.

Interesting to know Mike! Thank you!!...
... yes, mos probable horses were employed. Arabian horses may be. It is something curious how tradition has strongly fixed the image of camels among Spanish Speaking Countries. Thank you for the cut camel shot!! All the best! Abel
Dear Abel Many Congrats on a very nice watch. Wear it in good health!
Returning on the camel issue, since I come from this area. I have never seen a camel! Camels come from the Arabian peninsula, the area where the 3 kings travel is more of the middle east and it gets confused with it. And usually people travelled on horseb...
Hello dear Samer: Thanks a lot for your kind comments on my AK and appreciate so much your good wishes. I´m glad to know you like this model....
... regarding camels and the Three Kings: Agree with your explanation and that it was most probable that they traveled in horses. What it is interesting is to note how popular iconography do not pay attention to very early illustrations or true research o...
Congratulations Abel my friend!
A great way to start the new year is with a new Rolex. May you wear your Air-King in good health, wealth, and happiness. PS. As for the bracelet, if you want to remove modern Rolex bracelets I recommend the Bergeon 6825 Rolex bracelet tool. (This model is...
Thank you so much for your kind comments and good wishes my friend Reintitan!!
I got same Bergeon tool. Agree it may be the best answer to take the bracelet off! Great tool! Cheers! Abel

Congratulations to you! I fell in love instantly in 2016 with this one but the latest LGF craze here infected me too and hence this one has to wait still. It is to me still very Rolex: elegant, classy and sporty. The touch of playfulness makes it even mor...
Thank you so much for your kind comments my dear Count!! Agree with you about the character of this watch, and I understand you about priorities in our purchases...
