Finally took the plunge
After 2 years of deliberating I finally took the plunge and purchased my first rolex an Air King 2017

was on a trip in a state with a much lower tax rate and was able to scoop one up and I must say the AD made the whole first process great. Im super happy with the purchase and the watch already feels like an extension of my arm that I dont even notice

thanks to the many in here who have shared and taught me alot about the brand.

I feel the bug has been caught and will not go away

Congratulations. The new AK is a superb watch.

It's great not to follow the crowd and go for something a bit different.
