I think the Air King looks great on a man or woman's wrist. The dial with the pink indices is a lovely effeminate watch, and at 25% off as well, I think you're getting an awesome deal. Only you can justify the expenditure, but if we're going on the watch alone, I think you're making a good choice.

Hey! That's my watch! Well, a bit like mine - blue batons on mine and I totally love it - discrete, historic, timeless and so on!
Buy buy buy!

Then go big or go home

Good luck

I like the AK, Jen...but I also like the suggestions of the Milgauss. I personally like the look of bigger watches on women (the SD looks great BTW). So I would say lean towards 40mm. It is your watch and the AK does look great, tho.

I got my wife an Air King (silver dial) from the year of her birth 1977. She looks great with it on - as do you.

That's the exact same watch that I have! You can't go wrong with silver and the size looks just about right on your wrist - although, I do suspect that something like that with polished center links would look better on you like maybe a DJ or Oyster/Date? But, as is it looks good already.

I think it would be a great watch for you Jen. A more elegant alternative to the SD, maybe for more formal occasions?
