Air King, really? I never understood the appeal with that one. Well maybe the original Dominos Pizza edition. That was pretty sick but a modern Air King? Why would people suddenly begin to like that one. To me, the design is a little off with the mixed numbering on the dial.

Bought mine in 2015 for 8000€ with 1000€ discount on the msrp. Now it‘s like 14500€. Not too bad. It has gone up constantly, not at once like some OP’s. The longer it is out of production, the more it‘ll go up.

Total guess but:

YG (solid and TT) versions of GMT and YM. Rolex doesn’t usually discontinue an entire metal offering like that; last I recall was loss of the TT/PM OP models twenty years or so ago.

Also, potentially, the OP34. Have to wonder how long it’ll last as it is the only OP not to share its case/bracelet with a similar DJ.

One of the ugliest watches ever made. Yuck. If market ever turns, you wont even get a bid for the Airking

I have no idea why you keep bringing up shoes. Shoes are still a necessity and everyone wears them. Watches used to be essential and now they aren’t (phones). There is no parallel between shoes and watches.

Who can say? Look at all of the frenzy over little details like a “double red.”

People can seize on the strangest things.

In any event, Rolex has mastered the art of retaining and increasing its brand perception so whatever you own, you’ll have Rolex as a partner in promoting it if that’s what matters to you.
