Enjoy! I just got same a few days ago and loving it. Nice improvements from my perspective from prior one that I quickly traded back then because of lack of comfort on wrist. I imagine that's due to the GMT-style case the AK now uses vs prior Milgauss-style case. New easylink adjustment works great throughout day, too. Anyway, enjoy yours!!

My wrist is 7.5’ it fits perfectly and I really enjoy it. My co workers give me the side eye though

My AD told me not to say because of the waitlist thing but it was in the United Kingdom (you know where)

Good deal! Why can’t all or at least the majority of ADs play the same way. I visited a large dealer in Cleveland and before I could even walk to the Rolex display,I was told ( all Rolexes are for display ONLY )!!
So I spent some time looking at the 6 other brands they had but felt like I was perhaps disrupting their lunch time��

"A HOMAGE TO AVIATION
The Air-King symbolizes the privileged relationship between Rolex and flying during the golden age of aviation in the 1930s. It pays tribute to the pilots of the era and the Oyster’s role in their epic story.

The 1930s was a period when spectacular progress in aircraft performance constantly expanded humanity’s capacity to conquer the skies and led to the introduction of long-distance flights. Several pilots set records while wearing an Oyster. Others used a Rolex watch as an on-board chronometer. Among these airborne adventurers was the English aviator Charles Douglas Barnard. Of the Oyster, he said: “The peculiar qualities of this Rolex watch render it eminently suitable for flying purposes and I propose to use it on all my long-distance flights in the future.” In 1933, Oyster watches accompanied the Houston Expedition as it made the first-ever flight over Mount Everest at an altitude exceeding 10,000 metres (33,000 feet) in extreme weather conditions. In 1934, Owen Cathcart[1]Jones and Ken Waller made a return voyage from London (United Kingdom) to Melbourne (Australia) in record time with a twin-engine De Havilland Comet, using a Rolex Oyster as their on-board chronometer."
