Saw the new "Air King"s. 2mm bigger than the usual ones, otherwise looks exactly like the old AK except no "Air King" etched on the dial. Retailing 6K for the one without fluted bezel; the ones with fluted bezel is 7.2K. Looks pretty cool and understated, especially the black dial with the floating 3,6,9 and the protruding crown. I almost bought one yesterday but my SA stopped me. She said she wouldnt buy it if she was meJust a 16613 Blue TT SubComment

New Air King
I hope to get my hands on one in the next few years.....preferably with date (which is rare for the older series but not sure if Rolex intend to have this for the Air King series as well).Originally posted by lsk005 View Post
My current Datejust 16013 is nice but sometimes an old fart
like me needs to feel like a young man again. The new Air King is catchy but because of the smooth bezel and contemporary face, it can be mistaken for a lesser watch on first glance.
The Air King is nice in blue but also comes in silver, which IMHO, is more elegant.
As you can tell, I fit into the older demographic so the Submariners, Daytonas and Milgauses don't turn me on. Just gimme a non-professional oyster with gold and lotsa BLING!

New Air King
Old is not that bad, just like the gold Day-Date with BLING, it takes some getting used to.
I wonder if they will make a LKY limited edition soon when he is like 100 years old.
