Wimbledon 126234 or Airking 126900
If you had to have one, which route you going?

Both great, between the two, I’d take the Wimbledon on jubilee with a smooth bezel

If I only had one watch, I'd take the DJ.

In my opinion the Wimbledon looks awful - never understood why some people rave about them - definitely go Air King

The Date Just. A classic watch and you can do so much with it. Dress it up/down, swim, golf, etc.

I'm not really a Wimbledon fan but that AK is the ugliest watch Rolex ever made, imo. I'm shocked it is still in the catalogue.

DJ is much more practical but AK is more unique, personally I would go for the DJ

Neither. The lack of symmetry on the dial would really bother me.
But as you say I had too, then it’d be a DJ. But just know, I’m not happy about it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The differences of opinion here are interesting and surprising, some quite strong both ways. I’d favor most DJ’s over the Air King, Wimbledon included.

If only one, then definitely the DJ. Timeless, versatile, and classic.
The Wimbledon is one of the most popular dials on the DJ. |

I own both, so I'm no help!
DJ is a bit dressier, AK more business casual. |

Depends on which DJ dial.
In this instance, the AK for me. I've grown quite fond of it. The photos the other day from a member's recent purchase (Charles) looked amazing, so much so that I'm thinking about it ... one day.

Definitely the Wimbledon. That's my favorite design.

I absolutely detest the Wimbledon dial. The green around the romans just doesn't do it for me. I was offered one last week and couldn't turn it down quick enough. |

Wimbledon! It's a beautiful watch and the best looking date just, bar none
