The Devil Made Me Do It.....

I saw this over in the For Sale section....



http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=197528


And I bought it. Now I can't wait to see it.

It'll be my fourth Rolex, my second blue dial, my first non data and non TT.

Uh-oh! You've got it bad! That's always been one of my favorites. Enjoy and please share some wrist pics.

That's definately the best looking Air King. If I wore a suit daily that would get strong consideration.

If it has two-color lume I'm going to be a little jealous.

Who, me? We really need a smiley that shows me looking all innocent.


If you remember my other posts about Air Kings and Dates you know what got me on this one, I'll bet. I'd been wanting an engine turned bezel, and I love blue dials, so when one came along that wasn't a stick dial I got froggy. I love the clean lines of the 'Explorer I' dial.

Great looking Air King. There's something about its simplicity that draws me to it... Great choice

Congrats...The one thing that I'm not crazy about is that the air king is 34mm. I wish they came in at least 36mm. I love that blue dail..It's beautiful.

Thanks, the engine turned bezel was one of the things I was looking for. Seems most of them with this dial have the plain bezel, which I didn't want this time. My Date has the plain bezel.

It's just got one color lume, but feel free to be a little jealous anyway.

You, me and several others, I think. A couple times I looked at the For Sale thread and saw others in there looking, too. And thank you.

That's exactly why I wanted it. I'd actually been considering an EXP I for that same dial, even though 39mm seems a bit big for me (I'm a girl), and I don't care for black dials on me. Seeing the same thing in an Air King with the nice blue did me in...
