It may well be one of those Rolexes that acquire a cult following in the future, possibly because it was poo-pooed on release.
What's the availability on these? As hard to find as all the other sports models?
A flamboyant Explorer, like Bear Grylls in a fancy hat. :eagerness:

I've got one and it's my favourite rolex so go for it!
IMO, it is a better choice than the forum favorite- Explorer.
You maverick you!!
I had one and loved it - shouldn't have let it go.

I bought one as loved the look, but the returned it the next day as Milgauss case too bulky. If only slimmer, it would be ideal.
I really like how they look apart from when it was on my wrist.
Enjoy the watch!
I’ve heard of people like you...
Get help you sicko

I like it, something different to the normal black divers that have the Rolex fanboys getting hot under the collar. I also like the Milgauss with Blue dial and Green crystal - so there
I liked it till I tried one on.
Totally agree; radical and funky by Rolex standards, numbering and colouring give it character, I think it's a great watch.Quote:

In this world of crazy second hand values, it’s actually a reasonably-priced Rolex. I never used to like them much but when the dial error story was circulating, the more I saw one, the more I liked it.
It’s going to be OK. You’re in a safe space. Things will get better.
I bought one, too.

Functionally the same as the Explorer without all the baggage that comes with the Explorer. Plus, it is probably the best "pilot's-watch" to have. Not for those airline GMT (truck-driver) pilots, but real pilots that get things done in minutes.
It’s a great watch and has a spot in my collection.

I originally did not like the 40mm AK as it looked like a spare parts bin special. But soon enough it looked appealing.
I pick up mine last year and it looks much better in real life. Despite this, I think this watch will be discontinued.
I think they look cool
I'd say it's ok to acknowledge you need help with how to tell the time and those learner style minute markers will help. Bless you.
I think they’re growing in popularity in general, crack on and enjoy if you want one

Great watches. I've owned 2 and have managed to nab one of the 88 'Smooth as Silk' versions going to the Thai Market so that will be my third!
Whats changed on this run Ryan?Quote:

Two things irk me about the big R - cyclops and 'mercedes' hour hand. Dreadful features on a watch. Really like the Milgauss GV, though this AirKing ain't shabby at all so both fit my criteria. I actually bought a Daytona which also fits that bill for a non awful R :eagerness:
Edit oh wait - for some reason didn't realise the AK has a merc hour hand, noooooooooo
Maybe get a vintage as well.
not letting mine go - as it’s a family heirloom

Didn’t warm to the new Air-King in pictures but looks really good in real life.
I like the yellow and green in particular.
You’re buying a Milgauss, with a nicer dial, for £1,550 less. It’s one of the best buys in the current catalogue.
On the subject of Air Kings, I am going to the Metro Centre this morning to have a look at this.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c8fe2a93f7.jpg
