Good Day All,

I just found this forum. I just picked up my first Rolex last night (I am sure it will not be my last). I got an Air-King the basic model with a silver dial. I was just was looking for a high quality watch for everyday use. I am really happy with it so far.

Eric - what great news and I'm not surprised that you're really happy with it. The Air King's a great looking Rolex. It sounds great in stainless with the silver dial, too.

A big WELCOME to TRF - have a great time browsing around and taking part - perhaps you'll post some photos of your new Rolex soon.

Congratulations on your new watch. Sounds like a classic. I have a hankering for an Air King myself.

That Air King is an awesome looking watch. Such clean lines. I love the Roman Numerals also. It makes the watch in my opinion. We will eagerly await the full review and pictures as well as seeing what you will be adding next to the collection.
