Beautiful watch, but it needs more fives on the dial.

I agree... I think they should take the hands out and just put fives everywhere

Surprisingly when I was wearing it I didn't notice the fives as much as the bright colours on the dial. Again I can't understate how hefty the watch is as well.

I liked it better in person... the white numbers didn't look at large compared to the 3,6,9 as they seem to in photos. Still though... there are several other Rolexes I'd buy before this.

I'm feel the same way about that dial. It's not for everyone

Sorry but it's just not my cup of tea. The 3,6 & 9 are completely out of place on that dial.

I would prefer any of the current Milgauss models to the new AirKing, price notwithstanding.

I think these broad/white hands look much better than the mercedes (designed for overlapping lume visibility) on this dial combo.

Though you do get more bang for your buck (calibre 3131/anti mag cage) compared to the EXP I, aesthetics just don't stack up IMO.

To make it a True AK, I'd like a second hand and a 24 hour hand. Either could be as a subdial.
