First Rolex - and first impressions
Hi everyone,
I picked up my first Rolex this week. It is a 114200 Air King. Love the watch. It is the perfect size for me, and I feel like it can be very versatile. I went from being a long time Breitling collector, branched out to Panerai, then realized they were simply too big for me. It's refreshing to wear a watch that isn't always in the way Let me know what you think Shawn |

Very nice and congratulations! The air king is a great watch. Many of us here myself included, have returned home from the big watch craze.
