The OP39 has been the most comfortable and well-balanced Rolex I have ever tried on. Might just be my next; However, it does seem rather plain (not necessarily a bad thing) and Air King is a bit more eye catching.

Let me get some opinions, I have tried on many white dial watches but i am fair skinned and they dont look good imo. And i cant wait to post pics of all 4 when they are all in my possession.

Thanks
I vote for the AK. Like you, the AK has grown on me, and I think it has a very unique dial. I also like that it's 40mm, as 39mm looks a bit small to me (based on trying on the ExplorerI). Also, I never really liked the colored dots around the dial of the OP.

Clearly there is no winner or loser there for all three need to be owned. Maybe with a group purchase discount!!!

I'd go AK. It's a really unique and fun piece. I didn't like it the first time I saw it, but it quickly grew on me. I think it's super cool. Good luck!
