Gorgeous! I love the smooth bezel and oyster on this model.

Wimbledon! It's a beautiful watch and the best looking date just, bar none

Wimbledon. I find the AK dial too busy. Although the Wimbledon dial is a little busy too, but not as much as the AK.

A photo from this morning; yesterday, I was wearing my DD40 yesterday most of the day and for some reason the AK was really calling me. I love the way it glows at night while on my wrist. It's a great watch. And it not the most common Rolex, the spot of honor owned by the DJ. I really love the yellow and green accents and with the three lumed numerals and the Mercedes hands it's great in the dark.

I like the AK but in some pics it looks tacky.

DJ hands down

Wimbledon 126234 or Airking 126900

Difficult choice. If only -one to have-then I would choose the DJ for the date function.

Agree, AK lumed up is something else.

Between the two I’d go AK every time.

I’m not a big fan of the Wimbledon dial…I think it’s rather gaudy.

The AK is not as dressy as the DJ but I adore the AK so if I had to pick between Wimbledon and AK, I’m going the latter.
