I think you could get it cheaper from one of the trusted sellers her on TRF

Well, sold or not sold, I think that it was a fair price for very beautiful watch.
Just keep on looking, it will pop some other good deal, and I think that Air King is great choice!

Welcome to TRF!

Air king is a beautiful watch. My first nice watch (and my first Rolex) was an Air King. It's the only watch that has depreciated (rather significantly, purchased new in 1999) but I wouldn't part with it even if I could get double what it sells for in the secondhand market today.

Welcome to TRF!

I was looking an comparables just today on a 14000M. Based on my market research that watch is just a gosh high based on it doesn't have box or papers. It certainly wasn't over priced. I believe $2,200 to $2,300 for a really clean F - D series with box and papers are available.

I just picked up a nice DJ that will be here tomorrow. It is probably going to be a replacement for my girlfriend's 14000M F Series black dial. It may be on the boards in the next week or so.

Where have you been looking and can you make any recommendations?

Bernard is an excellent company. Exactly as represented, no-hassle return if it doesn't fit.
Fast, courteous attention to your emailed queries.
About once or twice a month I check out a hundred or so watches on their site.
Maybe 20% more than a private seller, but with the guarantee, better condition, and easy return? Worth it.

I second that. I've purchased twice from Bernard. Professional, knowledgable, no-hassle etc.
