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!
