The AD rang....Air King is mine!
Purchased a # of new Rolex this year but none have impressed me as much as the New Air King. I was skeptical about the dial but was totally sold on it upon seeing it in the metal. I think it's a winner.
  Ad also gave me what supposedly is extremely rare. Apparently each ad only received 2-3 copies of the "Rolex Way" book  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I just went and tried one on yesterday. The AD had ordered it for another patron but allowed me to see it before they picked it up. I absolutely loved it. I am supposed to call them today and let them know if they should order one for me or if I am going to choose the new Explorer instead. I have been really skeptical because so many are saying they don't like the Air King's dial. I find that ironic really, as this is exactly why I like it so much. I like that Rolex is trying some new things. I love that they are really offering a pilot style watch to compliment their many divers style offerings. I love the minute markers on the dial and the use of color. I think your post has pretty much made my mind up for me. Thank you so much for sharing. When mine comes in, I hope nobody will mind me sharing as well! I will be so proud since it will be my first new Rolex.

Congrats on the new watch. Sort of a weird side question, but did you partially shave your arm?

Congrats
Just goes to show how personal choosing a time piece is. I was at an AD today to try on a few DJ2's and he brought out the new Air King (which was also sold) to show me. Took one look at it and instantly disliked it. The mixture of raised 3-6-9 markers and printed 5-10-20-25(etc) markers just looks wrong. In my opinion the dial should be printed around the entire circumference. Enjoy your new watch tho'

Saw one today at my AD in the case. Definitely a unique look that's for sure.
Congrats! |
