Really, I was one of the 9 out of 10 people who doesn't like it initially but it slowly took over me.....

Superb build, very unique design, thanks Rolex.

ernie2 · 25 June 2016, 01:15 AM

Looks good

travisb · 25 June 2016, 01:42 AM

Looks terrific first hand.

Danny83 · 25 June 2016, 01:42 AM

Very nice

Tools · 25 June 2016, 01:55 AM

I think that it's a great looking watch

Psmith · 25 June 2016, 02:29 AM

I like it

Etschell · 25 June 2016, 02:31 AM

Congrats

Rolex fan 61 · 25 June 2016, 02:32 AM

Sorry but I still prefer the explorer

TheRolexKingofLV · 25 June 2016, 02:33 AM

I love the new AK

HogwldFLTR · 25 June 2016, 02:35 AM

I'm very fond of the new AK; just not fond enough to get rid of something I already have in order to make room for it. It's a a very sweet Rolex!!!

Congratulations!!!!

japenney · 25 June 2016, 03:04 AM

At first I hated it. Lets say I 10/10 hated it. Now I only 9.9/10 hate it. Give me a year and ask me again. I mean if I was rich and owned every single SS Rolex model including the Yacht master I might buy one. Just for completion sake. It might actually look better with pcl's.

ap1 · 25 June 2016, 03:23 AM

Congrats - unique looking

Black Bay Dan · 25 June 2016, 03:45 AM

I love it and it's one of three Rolex watches in my Rolex Wishlist (albeit I need to win the National Lottery first).

Yuri.Popov · 25 June 2016, 04:13 AM

I am not a fan, but congratulatios!

j-watch · 25 June 2016, 04:50 AM

Congrats! I like it a lot, and hope to see one in the flesh soon. I'm contemplating this as my next piece, and would love to see some "real world" wrist shots from different angles if you are so inclined.

I think my favorite feature of this new watch is the oversized crown.

Have a great weekend!

Joe

dabbotjordan · 25 June 2016, 04:54 AM

I love it,well done mate!

socialpro · 25 June 2016, 05:00 AM

Cool rolex - looking good!

b0rderman · 25 June 2016, 05:03 AM

Congrats! Don't know why, but I'm glad these are out there and hopefully I'll see one in the wild someday.

Slippy Chips · 25 June 2016, 05:43 AM

That's a good looking watch! I don't really get the negativity.

Tan · 25 June 2016, 05:44 AM

I like it

Txkill · 25 June 2016, 06:14 AM

I tried one on and I have to say I was put off on how thick it was. I was expecting it to be more like the explorer. But it has the same case as the milgauss.

brandrea · 25 June 2016, 06:16 AM

I'm warming up to it!

Did you buy it

If so congrats

77T · 25 June 2016, 06:32 AM

At first I didn't like it - now I just like it less than at first...

It's only the dial though. Too busy for me.

And what's the "bloodhound" nexus?

Good Looking watch.

The new supersonic car being sponsored by Rolex.

77T · 25 June 2016, 07:00 AM

Thanks - I knew the project.
What I meant was how is this a connection to the new AK?

They pretty much copied the instruments from the Bloodhound for the new Air King.

Wcdhtwn · 25 June 2016, 07:38 AM

I saw one in person at an AD last week. All the pictures make the small numbers, 5, 10, 20, etc. look much larger than they are on the watch when you see it in 3D. The pictures not only don't do the watch justice I think the pictures do it an injustice. Though different it is a good looking and unique watch.

But I agree with those who say the new Explorer is more desirable.

soundserious · 25 June 2016, 07:43 AM

Meh? I just don't care at all about it. Not enough to have a negative reaction. So many other watches Rolex makes are ahead of this on my radar.
