Am I in?
Hi Guys, first post here. I hope you wont be too hard on me but I'm not a big fan of the cyclops and that's why I bought an Air-King as my first Rolex. I got this one several months ago.

I already have my eye on the new 39mm Explorer, but I'll have to wait a while for that one. Anyway, I hope I posted the photo of the Air-King properly so that it shows up for you to see!

Welcome to TRF Steve, your AK looks great. But, you don't have to sacrifice the date function to get rid of the cyclops. The SD gives you the date and a "cyclops-free" crystal.
