Finally received my Air King 126900 from my AD in Seattle, Washington; home of Boeing Company and rocked it where It belonged, the cockpit of Boeing 787-900 Dreamliner. Photo taken over Atlantic Ocean enroute from Miami International to Istanbul Airport.

Nice picture. I have the 116900. When I first saw it, I thought it was different from the other SS models and it was my first Rolex. Love it since I got it in 2019. Congrats and enjoy and safe flying.

Just received my 126900 from the AD six days ago.
Perhaps they recently completed a run of the model. AD did mention they have a considerable amount of AK requests in recent weeks.
Has there been more interest in the current AK as of late?

I also recently received the call from AD to pick up my 126900. I first put on the
116900 in 2016 and have loved this model since day one. It’s amazing to me what an entirely different personality the 126900 is vs. the 116900. Not better, not worse, just a completely different character. Feels it went from smooth and warm to hard and edgy. Anyone else feel like it’s a big change?
I adore the model and love the 12. It’s going to be a great journey.

So I first fitted the AK 116900 in 2016 not ling after it’s introduction. I have lived this watch since day one. I recently got the AD call and picked up the 126900.
Wow, what a different personality! Not better not worse just so different. I adore both iterations but too me it went from soft and warm to hard and edge. Total shift in character. Amazing difference.

Making my way down to an Exhibition in Birmingham today on the train and meeting up with clients and manufacturers. Decided to take the 14000M with me for company.
