Haha! Thanks for that, and the wishes. It’s pretty awesome. Once it gets out there a bit more, it’s going to catch on, I think.

I have not been able to see on in the metal. Owned the prior version and I love this one. I think there is going to be a long list. Enjoy!

Congratulations!

I’m wearing the first 6-digit AK, the 114200, right now. It’s a great line.

Totally agree. Underrated.

Lume at 3-6-9, crown guards and raised crown on the clasp. Totally different beast... If you're bummed Rolex took the 39 Explorer away, you'd probably like this thing more than you'd think.
Congratulations!

The new Air-King wasn't on my list as I have the old one and love it ...

But...I spoke with my AD and am getting the 126900 next week.

You nailed it...my 39mm Explorer is my most worn most comfortable watch. I have no complaints about the 116900 but the changes made are right up my alley. Very excited!

Congratulations again!

Big congrats Keith! Great story. I've always loved the 40mm Air-King, but I definitely feel this one is a big improvement over the 116900...and I really liked that watch. I'm on the list for one too. Keep the pictures coming please and congrats again!

I’m honestly still not a huge fan of the dial - I like each aspect of it on its own, but too much going on all together. However still an improvement note that there’s lume on 3-6-9. That said, I agree completely on the silhouette, at least from pictures. Proportions are far superior in my opinion.
