Hello everyone, just stumbled on this site by google after being on the Timezone forum and soaking up the information.

I Currently have a Tag which has been given me great service for over 9 years and only recently had to change it's battery. I was in the Phillipines and was about to upgrade my Tag. But decided against for the time being.
After looking at the rolex site and what people post of forums, I have decided to save up for a Rolex.

I personally like the Air-king very simple but it has no date on it something I can live without but its good to have.

The other one that take my fancy is he Datejust all white 31mm. My arms are small so a big 40mm watch would look weird on me

Welcome to TRF Ben at one time you could get the Airking with the date these vintage models are now getting quite collectable

Hi Ben,

Welcome to TRF. The Air-King would be a great choice or even an Oyster DATE!!

Good luck - JJ

Welcome to TRF Ben.

The Air King is a great watch but have you taken a look at the Explorer? Just a little different but along the same lines.

Thanks for the warm welcome, this is such and informative site. And well at least I have relatives in HK so if the time comes to buy the dream watch, I know I can get a good deal.

The Explorer is something I would consider as well , thanks for the heads up

Hello Ben and welcome to TRF.

I would not worry about having small wrists, many women have taken to wearing bigger watches. Go and try a sub or a GMT and see what you think.
