I absolutely LOVE IT!!! I brought it on holiday with me to Greece and the way the colours pop against the torqouise sea is beautiful.

I went into the AD to buy a milgauss blue they ordered it in so i could see it .as i looked in the window before going in to view the millgaus i saw the air king and loved it..went i viewed both together the air king screamed out for me to buy it.i loved the dial the none shine center link ..was not till i got home with the watch that I looked it up i found it has the milgauss case workings ..and bracelet the link to the bloodhound world speed car clocks...am i happy with my purchase i am delighted..and as a bonus i did buy a milguass that day ..as a bonus it was a bargain £1500 cheaper than the blue one .. with better dial and charactor..that could appreciate in the future..i love the watch it reminds me of an old English Smiths w10 military watch only bigger and better.....if you see one of these watches in real life you will love it..a future classic...it is the bargain stain less steel watch in the rolex family

They should’ve called it RoadKing and made the design more like those bloodhound dials.

Not a fan of the Arabic minutes marker. Too much clutter on the dial.

Think of it this way. You are getting a Milgauss on a bargain. It shares every feature that the Milgauss have at a cheaper price. The very first Air King to join the professional lineup and I actually like the dial layout because I see it as the Explorer with a twist and a splash of the signature green color of Rolex makes it interesting at least to me. The dial is inspired by the Bloodhound SSC project so Rolex didn’t just just designed the dial without any logic behind it. Actually I’m picking up mine this weekend.

I was thinking the same thing, although even the regular dial is starting to grow on me.
