I know a lot of people never really cared for the previous version of the modern AK, but I always like it! When this 2nd version was released, I LOVE it! The small detail changes like the "05" and the crown guards really makes a huge difference imo. I am hoping to get one of these myself!

Ruvv · 19 September 2022, 09:48 AM

It looks great but it's not a piece for me

JRell · 19 September 2022, 10:28 AM

Really sharp, like it, congrats!

Guppydriver · 20 September 2022, 09:42 AM

Anyone got a pic on green rubber?

Mike507 · 20 September 2022, 10:21 AM

i love mine. I much prefer it to my rhodium YM, which was previously my favourite rolex.

Just picked up mine and love it! As the OP said, it’s less blingy, etc. and I really like the quirky dial. A tidbit I’d never heard or read about is that, according to the AD, the Air-King text is in Hans Wilsdorf’s handwriting. Don’t know if that’s true or not, but I like the font.

Ny325 · 11 October 2022, 11:51 AM

You have to see the AK in person, to appreciate it. It’s like no other model in the Rolex line.

Gerry62 · 12 October 2022, 05:05 AM

The new Air-King ?? Really like it !!

JDA0779 · 12 October 2022, 03:04 PM

Love the new Air King, waiting for mine here in Dubai.

I’m also patiently waiting.

rambo99 · 13 October 2022, 04:38 PM

they just changed the 05 and replace the old case with the explorer 2 case. it's a simple job but I admit it looks much better than the old air king.

HogwldFLTR · 13 October 2022, 10:31 PM

Just received notice that mine will be coming in this quarter. I'm looking forward to it.

That’s great news.

HTXdev14 · 14 October 2022, 07:34 AM

It was about a 5 month wait for me.

I've been after one for a while; not the most popular but I love its style!

Need to unfollow this thread, amazing pictures everyone.

Ny325 · 15 October 2022, 11:57 AM

It’s a watch that one has to try on, and see in person to appreciate it.

Uh, quite a few more changes than that.

Ny325 · 16 October 2022, 07:23 AM

Longer hour, and second hand.

This is one of my all time favorite wrist shots.

Are the retailers asking MSRP or marking it up?

Looking sharp! I got mine the other day!

Nav01L · 10 April 2023, 03:55 AM

Got mine briefly after it came out last year, love it.

Steverin06 · 10 April 2023, 04:08 AM

I think the look of the new Air King is excellent, and there has never been any hype on the cool piece, and those that have it seem to be enjoying it, time to get to in the club.

CedCraig · 10 April 2023, 06:04 AM

I’m enjoying mine. Took it diving in Thailand last month.

Hi fellow forum members,
Had some 'weird' interactions with a few ADs. I visited 4 ADs because I am interested in the 126900. The majority of them (3) told me they do not receive this watch, they have never received it and never held it in their hands. Only one AD (who was quite nice actually) told me that they receive only 2 AKs per year and they have a huge waiting list, funnily enough he offered me a sky-dweller or a daytona (both gold) which I would not expect to be sold so easily.
Do the above sound normal to you?
Thanks!

Know1isgod · 20 December 2023, 11:33 PM

Nothing is normal when discussing how Rolex does business. I requested November 2nd. Was told not to expect until 2024. Got call December 13th. Who knows?
