Hello All,

My current collection is an OP41 and Sub Date 41. I am heavily considering selling the OP41 to snag the new air king at retail.

Is this a good move? Would love to get a second opinion

It's very individual of course but I think it's a good trade. Love the new Air-King and look forward to getting one.

If possible I'd not sell the OP and just buy the AK..but that's just me and I am obviously a hoarder!

Just do it! ;)

I prefer the op41. Can’t do that airking dial unfortunately.

Trailboss516 · 18 August 2022, 11:42 AM

I would not

TswaneNguni · 18 August 2022, 11:52 AM

Neither ...rather a DJ41 as companion to the Sub/Date .
Polar Expl II also an option as a sports.

Not for me.

The numbers on the AirKing are too similar to the numbers on the Sub (not the style, just the literal fact there are numbers)

I like the plainness of the OP, or as someone else suggested: Get a DJ instead.

whatever this means!

i guess you mean the OP has indexes.

I guess so..

I’d stick with the OP41. It is a classic, classy watch for any occasion.

For me, whilst I appreciate some of the details on the Air King, the dial is just too fussy for me

Airkingchnr · 18 August 2022, 03:56 PM

If the air king was the mark 1 .. straight away
Alot of the character was lost with the mark 2

omar-rye · 18 August 2022, 04:23 PM

I would trade the OP for a different colour dial

Gerardus · 18 August 2022, 05:19 PM

Biased, huge AK fan here.

Manamana · 18 August 2022, 07:32 PM

OP41 very basic watch, and if not for the colored dials most would have never bothered with it, nothing interesting. AK is a sports Rolex with interesting dial and history

ap1 · 18 August 2022, 09:47 PM

Depends if you prefer a little flare

EEpro · 18 August 2022, 09:57 PM

I'd swap the OP41 for a DJ41 instead. Add some color and flashy variety.

brandrea · 18 August 2022, 10:05 PM

I’d stay put. You already have the Submariner with a date function and the OP gives you a casual/dressier piece with no date

faimag · 18 August 2022, 10:34 PM

The AK looks more similar to your sub than the DJ, so I would probably stick with what you have.

CarlOver · 19 August 2022, 03:59 AM

No AK for me. Exp II might be an option.

jaySL350 · 19 August 2022, 04:11 AM

Another no Air King,,,

Willows · 19 August 2022, 04:57 AM

Very similar watches. The folding clasp and crown guards would sell it for me.

Air-king

JayHantz · 19 August 2022, 05:22 AM

I would keep the OP, more classic and timeless.
