Someone posted that the Air-King would be 36mm by July 2008. See the comment in this article. Can anybody confirm?

The Air King Precision's look really good. But I like mine, which is a newer version with silver dial, white lume. Seems more rugged for some reason.

I don't think so, but there will be 36 mm Oyster Perpetuals with all brushed links and case just as the Air-King. Those were advertised at Basel this year. Check out the Rolex web site.

Best,

A

John.
I LOVE the AK. Especially this particular design. I just wish they'd make a 39mm version....

Well, 34mm is fine on me.... I should send a wrist shot in - I am only a little chap and got skinny wrists - I have tried on 40mm watches and they look ridiculous on me! And the AK lines are so-o-o-o classic - I feel like I'm wearing my grandad's watch!
For me, these bigger style watches are a possibly a temporary fashion statement and I think if I caved in and went for bigger, I'd regret it in the future.

The latest Air King with the Blue Arabic 3-6-9 dial looks well good.

I can't find that particular dial anywhere.. usually they have roman numerals or arabic at the 3/6/9 position. Is this a brand new 2008 model or something?

I can't find it in the list of dials either:

That is the all time classic Air King, imho.
