Air King used or brand new?
Should I pick up the brand new Air King tmr in the AD or go for a used one?

It depends on how long you want to wait for it.
Through grey market, you will get it much quicker. However, from my understanding there have been a few AK's floating around ADs lately. Recently one of my AD's had both an AK & Exp 1 sitting on the shelf... It seems the grey market pricing is similar to MSRP for the AK... |

On the secondary market you can find Air-Kings from all the way back into the 1940's.

With Air-Kings it's a case of "the older the better", IMO.
("better" as in "better choice").

I prefer the 116900.
AD has one right now for me to pick up. I am not sure whether it worth that money or go for grey market. |

Ive seen AK's at AD's a lot recently... however, THEY NEVER LAST LONG.
I've seen them sell faster than Ex1's in the same case. |

Definitely brand new. Least expensive 116900 on Chrono24 (any condition) is about $6000. Brand new from Rolex is $6450. So it would only make sense to get it brand new.

On Chrono24 the average price for a preowned box and papers Bloodhound Air King at this time from my portfolio is $7354. Definitely get it from AD if you like it. You will get purchase history that my be helpful in the future too.

 As to the question; I'd got the least expensive way possible.
