AirKing & Sub.

Hi guys.
Has anyone got a AirKing or any 34mm and a sub in a pic for me please.
Just want to see them side by side to see how small the AirKing's really are.
Thanks Johnny

Well, my Sub's getting serviced right now so I'll show you an AK next to a GMT:

You're welcome! It was a tough call to decide which one to take off. Indeed, most of the Sub/GMT's extra 6mm width is probably in the bezel; the AK dial makes up almost the whole watch so it gives a bigger appearance than 34mm would indicate IMHO. I always recommend adding an AK to a collection. Tons of dials to choose from, great values, and super comfortable on the wrist.

The AK is definitely worth having. Once in a while you want simple and the AK has as much history as the GMT. It's such a natural choice

Might nude AKs here. I've always had a soft spot for the POOL INTAIRDRILL award watch
