For my 41st birthday this September I treated myself to a blue, Air King. After a great deal of research, I decided that the Air King was the correct model for me. Though no longer in the industry, my background is in aviation so the provenance if this model struck a chord with me. I wanted something understated, but classic and elegant that doesn't enter the room five minutes before I do.
With all of the comments that exist about the size, I at first had some concerns, but they faded the minute I put it on. I am a larger gent at 6'3" and 250+lbs and despite the current trend of huge watches, the size is perfect for my taste. I will let others sport the obnoxiously large time pieces that more closely resemble wall clock. I will enjoy this work of art for its elegance and simplicity.

Many congrats on your beautiful watch and glad you bought the one you liked the best--not the one that's most popular.
