After a long time of searching, reading and saving, I'm happy to say I finally got my second luxury watch on my wrist. And the winner is: an Air King 14000M with black dial K serial!

Pics are very big, so I'm trying to make them clickable

FULL SIZE

Lovely Air-King Yuri, you are going to love your 14000M. It's a mature, elegant, purposeful design.

Here is my Air-King:

Nice, Congrats.

Cograts. This model captures the essence of a Rolex to me. Not overstated, not overdone just very, very nicely done. Good choice.

Oh yeah .. I think the dial is called salmon although I cant be sure what the correct name of the color really is

Air King always look good.

mrbill2mrbill2 · 4 July 2011, 04:39 AM

Nice!

The Air King is really growing on me. I just wish it was larger.

AndersB · 4 July 2011, 07:11 AM

Beautiful, classic watch. Congrats mate

kcmo · 4 July 2011, 07:15 AM

Congrats on a classic!

tommyyu · 27 April 2012, 07:42 AM

hi guys. I just got the same watch, i.e. 14000M black, K serial, at least the certificate reads this.

However, I feel a little disappointed. Isn't this watch too small? I did not expect it to be so small. I have a thin wrist, but it stll looks small on my wrist. Did I got the ladies size?

I know nothing about Rolex, it is gonna be a present for my dad. He got a much thicker wrist than I. Please help to explain...

Thanks

Tom

The AirKing is the smallest of the men's Rolex watches. If you're after the more contemporary look, you'd likely want to look elsewhere. I happen to like watches that aren't' huge. I owned an AirKing for a bit, but I decided that the slightly larger DateJust works well, for me, but it just depends on the wrist size in question.

If you think the AirKing is too small, you may want to look for the regular Oyster Perpetual, which is similar to the AirKing, but is the same size as the DateJust. Granted, were only talking another 2mm difference in size.

Thank you! I guess I would probably just keep it, at least for a while...

It more like a ladies size on my wrist ... I do have a very small wrist ... sigh ...

Anyway, be understated ...

simple, elegant...Classic!
