1. Sub
2. Exp I
3. Exp II
4. Milguass
5. Air King


If they'd make a few small tweaks the Air King could easily slide up to #3. I like the little hits of color on it and I can get over the mix match of hour/minute numbers. What I can't get over is the utter lack of lume but for the 12 o'clock marker. If those 3/6/9 markers had been the lumed ones from the new ExpI then the Air King would rank much higher for me.

I completely agree that the Air King would be the dogs bollocjs if they had added lume to the number markers. I reckon they will fix this when they release the Speed King assuming the Bloodhound breaks the land speed record.

For me,

1. Exp I
- Sub
- Exp II
4. Milguass
5. Air King

I can't split the Sub and Exp II at the moment which really isn't helping as I'm looking at purchasing one of them.

Explorer
Submariner
Explorer II
Air King
Milgauss

I put the Explorer ahead of the 114060. The current Explorer is a really good looking watch, and IMHO is better proportioned than the Submariner. However, I'd put a 14060(m) above any version of the Explorer. To me the Sub and polar, Explorer II, 16570 are pretty much tied for second. The Air King is fine, but the dial is too busy, and I just don't care for the Milgauss at all.

My ranking would be:

1. GMT-II (pre-ceramic)

2. EXP-II (white dial)

I travel across time zones enough that the 2nd time zone feature is quite useful. Everything else leaves me cold. I particularly hate the Sub (in all its incarnations).

Sub
Exp1
Air-King
EXP2
Milgauss

I'm basing this on the UK and what sits around AD windows. Subs are definitely top, with exp1 and AK sometimes found in windows but still with small lists at some ADs. ADs have told me they sell pretty quick when they do come in. EXP2 and Milgauss are lovely watches but always hang around AD windows.

That's what I've based my answer on, don't shoot me lol
