Air-King, gift for my daughter
Yesterday I bought an Air-king in my AD to give to my daughter, I already have this model in my collection, and I think it's a fantastic watch, I think my daughter will like it too.

Agree the Airking has a lot of Rolex history and one of Rolex longest running models, its a great watch but many underrate them today cannot think why.Your daughter is very lucky to have such a fine watch bought by her Dad,a watch that will last her a life time..

You are absolutely right, but I believe that people are already valuing it, it is a clock that if one day they stop making it, everyone will want to buy one. I think we are right with the gift, we will give it for Christmas, always look at my Air King saying that it is sporty and elegant at the same time.

How did you pick the Air-King for her, instead of something more girly?
Had she previously expressed interest in yours?
