Let's have an AirKing thread. 5500s, 14000s, super cased beauties...AKDs...whatever you have.

Sure, I'll play!
Here's my Air King. It's currently on a brown Hirsch, I just like that look a little better than the bracelet.

I like how it fits just fine on the strap!

Adrian - that's very nice! I've been wondering how the new AK - and especially the one with the engine-turned bezel - would look on a leather strap (thinking it could be a suitable combo). Gives it a kind of vintage look, right?

Thanks, Anders!

Yeah, I'm enjoying the different look and I like the flexibility that the dial offers as I think it would look ok in black too. The one thing is that there seem to be a lot more options for 18mm or 20mm but not many for 19 mm. Oh well! The 20mm is a little snug on the spring bar but it works.

Mine looks like Scott's. Don't have any paperwork as it was a gift from a Lodge Brother.

Very nice fellas! We need to make a signature banner like those Sub-marin-er and GMT boys have.

Too long has the AK lurked in the shadows! The light will now show the way!

Haha anyway, great pics, keep 'em coming

It had a smooth bezel originally, but Kevin's dad had it replaced with the WG Fluted bezel. You are correct, it IS a 5500 from 1969.

I have to agree. I've been looking at 1675s again lately and I still just can't do it. The AK is what I'd grab in the morning anyway
