Hi!
I`m new to this forum and as per the title, I`m thinking of buying a Rolex since until now I`ve been only a Breitling and Baume&Mercier owner.
So, which would you recommend of the two? Both in very good condition, almost NOS, both SS with bracelet.
Diference of 400 euros in favour of the Air King...
Thanks!

The 1002 has acrylic crystal and 14000M has sapphire if it matters to you.

If cindition is same, I'd prefer the 1002 myself

Can you be more specific?...as in why? Thx!

Just a personal preference for the OP vs AK. Had an Air-King and wasn't that happy with it.

But you should go with the one that makes you happier

The Air King has the most history of the 2

rolex 1002 is a good choice

dbonddental · 27 November 2012, 05:15 AM

I`ve decided for a Dayjust TT with 3135 and sappire

dbonddental · 30 November 2012, 06:03 AM

Change of plans...it`s a Sub ref.16610 cal.3135...it`s super!

dbonddental · 30 November 2012, 06:04 AM

Did I make a good choice?

77T · 30 November 2012, 09:17 AM

Well if you like it, and it's genuine, and it runs fine, then yes!

Oh, I just love it since I am a NAUI OW diver...and for shure it`s genuine, I`ve checked with the most famous watch sellers in Bucharest (Horologiuvm), done etancheity tests and vibrograph test on it, everything OK. But since I`ve read and seen a lot of them, I have been shure it`s a genuine only looking at the mouvement of the sweeping hand..But the seller opened the case for me and then it was no doubt...genuine 3135.
Thanks for all the good advises and I`m proud to be a genuine member now.
