I am now officially an Air King club member :-)

Hello everyone,

This is it - I purchased last saturday my first Rolex, a mint january 2000 Rolex Air King, Oyster band with a black dial, 34mm, recently serviced.

I just can't take this stupid smile away from my face since then.

david

007= No, I bought it at a jeweller last saturday but now I can't remember the name - not Sadan for sure though. I will check the certificate again... I brought it at Nisantasi's Rolex AD and they opened it up for me to check the inside + serial under the band, and also have a look at the joints and so on... this watch is wonderful.

thanks for your feedback everyone !

(but really i think i look really weird, looking at my wrist constantly... i guess it will fade away in time :-)

Congratulations!

Don't worry about the stupid smile, mine came with it too, and it doesn't go away!

BTW, mine says "HI!"
