Looking for feedback on a 14000m air king
Hello everyone...I am considering a purchase of a 14000m air king to wear with suits due to the smaller size.
I am looking for feedback on this model. I am trying to find something ore owned under 2500$. What is a good used price? Should I be considering anything else from Rolex in this low range? Anything to be aware of when purchasing a pre owned air king? Thanks for the input. By the way... Considering either blue or silver dial. |

Very nice watch and you should be able to find some excellent pieces under $2500.

A 14000, with a cal 3000 or 3130 movement can be had well under $2500. Most I've seen lately have been between $1800 and $2100. There are no issues with the 14000 or 14000m family of AirKings. Buy one recently serviced or get it serviced and it will last you for a lifetime.

I got mine from eBay for about 1700, and had it serviced by a local jeweler! Awesome watch, this can be easily dressed up or down and is not a heavy watch.

Thank you for the input everyone. I will continue to search for the right deal, but it sounds like it is a good move.

Yup! Air King = good move. They're rock solid. Also you could consider an Oyster Perpetual Date, which is essentially the same watch with a date function, and is comparably priced. Good luck with your hunt!
