You know, i actually like the bezel size on the AK. I think it works better than on the Milgauss and the old Datejust II as the markers are just as thick. It makes for a compact look..

But not too compact that the dial elements look squished together. Love this watch. I don’t think they’re gonna discontinue this one and will probably introduce different dial colors down the road. Perfect line to experiment together with the Milgauss. Excellent, excellent pic, btw smile

My second " Un-Rolex " Rolex in a row: Air King 116900.

On my wrist for two weeks, now. And for a bit more... Best, Nicolas ...  

It really stands out in the Rolex collection for its dial layout.

I like it a lot. I’m very happy for you that you got a second one after your unpleasant experience and that you still love it. Best, V.

Merci, Vallura.

That’s the essence of watches imo

 
 By: agyzace : April 18th, 2021-02:38
and only a select few pieces capture this essence for each one of us

Very true, mon ami.

Another one of those watches

Which I got poisoned by the Vlad (Lord Nico) who always takes such nice pics of the AK ! Mine saying Hi ...  

This one has crossed my path twice in the last year, and both times I passed it up.

But every time you post it I think again. It’s such an unusual piece, when it’s gone it’s unlikely we will see anything like it again.

What's the first one Nico?

Nice Airking (I know you LOVE this one), super collection of bracelets 👌🏼 Here's my ''Un-Rolex'' Rolex w/ stone bracelets as well ...  

A very cool watch

Un Rolex, just like the Milgauss....my only gripe is the thickness of the case which for a smaller wrist, it gets somewhat tiring after extended wear.

So happy to see you are enjoying it Nico.

I know. You are a great guy!

Naaah, our Community is!

I think it will remain the quirkiest Rolex of recent times for long....

 
 By: mahesh : April 17th, 2021-01:11
I recollected trying your watch...I must say, it is very compelling when one see in metal than pics ! with the Milgauss case & movement, it offers anti-magnetism to a level (not like Omega) - albeit Rolex don't claim it anywhere. Best, mahesh.,

I do feel after few months Rolex will silently put an Explorer II without making any noise...

 
 By: mahesh : April 17th, 2021-03:07
something they did for GMT Meteorite, Daytona Blue dial etc. Best, mahesh.,

Let’s see

I’ve a guy feeling they’ll do something in H2

Waiting to put this on the wrist of my son

 
 By: MTR : April 17th, 2021-14:29
when he will celebrate his 18th birthday. Just another 7 days. 🙏😊

🙏

It’s waiting for him. Now also equipped with a nice engraving on the back. ...
