Icon20 Incoming Air King very happy

I would like to share the history behind this watch, wife call me and ask me you know something about a Rolex that say something like “king” and I say yes is the Rolex air king a watch that it’s not so popular but looks amazing …the only Rolex that has “Rolex”painted in green (I explained to her everything about it)
I say why you ask ? She told me no nothing a friend of mine asked me about that watch …….

Long history short ….. she send me this pic and say …. You should wait until dec 23
