Buying my first Rolex tomorrow
I knew nothing about the Rolex until I found this site last week. I've learned a lot and tomorrow I will make my first purchase from the local AD. It's a Christmas gift for my wife.
Air King White Dial Arabic 369. I'm excited. If possible I would like to see some pics of any women with this watch.

Welcome and congrats on the impending purchase. If no ladies post up pics, then you're just 27 days away from doing it yourself using your wife's present!

Love that AK! The explorer dial 114210 is beautiful. The engine turned bezels have been discontinued too. Only the 114200 and the 114234 are available.

I am a sucker for Engine Turned and this is my favorite configuration...usually. I love most of the ET's a lot.

Great choice! I'm a sucker for white dials. Is she expecting it or is it a surprise? Please post pics once you've presented it to her! Congrats!

Total surprise, she has know idea. She knows I've been sneaking around and it's killing her.
