AD wait time for a 2022 Air King?

Hi all,

Does anyone have a general idea of how long I may have to wait to get a 2022 Air King, 126900? I have no history buying from an AD but started putting my name down at a few for this piece.

Thank you for the feedback!

Too many variables to give an accurate answer. Could be soon could be never. Hang in there and good luck

For the most part, I think this piece is an "if it'll be at all, it'll be soon; if it's not soon, it'll be never," similar to the Explorer or SD43.

Definitely not one to play AD games with, if you get strung along by one, go to another (unlike a Daytona, say, where "who knows, very popular" is in fact the truth).

A friend asked for one when it was first released, and just received it 2 months ago. No buying history either.

Seems like an attainable reference with a bit of patience. A few weeks ago there were 3 or 4 incoming posts for the AK.

Europe (Germany) same with all explorer models. Both 36 and 42mm. But it’s more like relationship than location I think.

Who can say? I waited 6 weeks. Merely 1 data point. Meaningless.

Wow.... Impressive

I have my name in for both the AK and Exp II. Crickets. Not complaining too much, I got BLNR in Jan 22.

Check in at Springers in Portsmouth. No sales tax either. They are now a boutique. They may have restrictions on out of state sales however. That's where mine is from.

I put my name down 1 month ago at the three Orange County CA ADs (Rubel, Hyde Park, and Tourneau). Crickets. My assumption was that one would call by the end of Q1. Let’s see…

In the meantime, yesterday I picked up the new rubber strap and clasp for the 3861 Speedy as it was in stock at Omega and that changed up the look of the watch.

I’ve seen that spot while in Portsmouth! I’ll have to check it out

Thank you for all of the input! Ended up putting myself on the “list” at a few locations - let’s see where it goes.

Should be rather quick. I would say anywhere between 1-6 months.
