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! Last edited by Prince; 22 July 2010 at 09:03 PM.. Reason: Correct image code |

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.

Thanks for all the kind comments guys. Now I just have to figure out how to post an actual picture rather than providing a link!
