Air King

Could I say neither? If not I'd choose the OP out of these two

Good luck deciding.

Ste_J · 18 March 2016, 07:38 PM

Voted OP as not keen on all the numbers on the AK. Was hoping for new OP dials to be honest (similar to the 36mm without the coloured dots).

capote · 18 March 2016, 07:44 PM

Air-King is cool

mineral · 18 March 2016, 07:48 PM

prefer the OP with the simpler dial.

RMC12 · 18 March 2016, 07:49 PM

The Air King just seems to have 'more about it' to me - if that makes sense.

Loved the history of the AK, but don't like the number sequence on the new one, OP just looks so much more classical.

tylerad1 · 18 March 2016, 10:51 PM

OP without the dots

MickCollins1916 · 18 March 2016, 11:04 PM

I like the size of the new AK, along with the splash of green, but the dial's a bit busy for my tastes. I'd go OP.

kangajack · 18 March 2016, 11:12 PM

OP for me. I prefer the simplicity and refinement. But... Aren't we really comparing the old air king and the new one?

Between those two, new A-K for sure. I'm not a huge fan of that OP's dial.

GB-man · 18 March 2016, 11:22 PM

Can I vote 2015 basel OP? I'd take a grey dial OP.

An Arabic or Roman dial would be nice too on the 39 mm.

Airking out of the 2

tkc324 · 18 March 2016, 11:25 PM

Air King looks good with that green second hand and green letters. I would pick the Air King.

GradyPhilpott · 19 March 2016, 01:58 AM

I think a better comparison would be between the Explorer and the Air King, but I'd have to wait until I can actually see the watches to decide.

However, between the OP and the AK, to me it would depend on whether or not I wanted a sport watch or a dressy watch.

ColRam425 · 19 March 2016, 02:01 AM

Of the two you listed, I think the OP has a more unique look with the silver and blue concentric dial

jrs146 · 19 March 2016, 02:02 AM

I actually really like the Air-King. Although the dial is busy and a bit confusing, it has a charm to it and a throw-back to a pilot watch. The problem is it makes a good 6th or 7th addition to a collection. On the other hand the OP (maybe not that dial) could easily be a number 2 in a collection... MAYBE even a number 1 if you could live without a date. I have a 34mm OP and like it very much (although my wife wears it 99% of the time)

hoanghung45 · 19 March 2016, 02:03 AM

Other - old explorer I 39mm 214270

This one.
I don't like the new AirKing at all.

Skyrider01 · 19 March 2016, 05:54 AM

I really like the green and yellow on the Air King, but I don't like the numbers at all.
That being said, I've owned the blue 39mm OP for 7 months, and it's a great all around watch.

Oyster perpetual is better because the new air king's dial is a complete mess.

captain_NEMO · 19 March 2016, 11:32 AM

I'd like the AK better if the Rolex crown was white, and not gold. Slightly smaller and different font for the "air king" would be nice too, but I get the homage. Do like the green accents tho.

Tough one, but OP in this case.
