Great job building a relationship with a smaller AD, it worked out well for you. Congratulations on the Air-King!

Looks great on the rubber... this is definitely something I am considering. Also thinking so experiment with a suede camo strap I have... I'll post if / when I do it

Some Rolex models are extra attractive with a rubber strap. I expect that Rolex will offer more models with rubber strap in their model range.... ![]() |

Congrats! This is the sleeper of all the professional models. Although it’s slowly catching on. I recently got one as well and it’s one of my favorites. Would you believe it gets more wrist time than my Dayton!?!

What a wonderful acquisition philosophy. Super, super cool. Sounds like a milgauss blue will be on your list

Milgauss is super cool no doubt.... however at £1,500 more expensive than the Air King which is identical construction, are the differences worth it? They are (1) the dial (not sure which one I prefer), (2) the polished centre links ( I prefer brushed ) and (3) the green glass ( super unique for sure)

Explorer II + AirKing = FUNKY! Just add a Milgauss for the trifecta.

The OP has a fantastic duo, well done on thinking outside the box.
Those AK's and YM2's look amazing on coloured rubber, really brings the colours out, loving them. |

Congrats and wear in good health! I think smaller ADs give better service. In less than a year, I’ll be visiting mine to pull the trigger on a YM OF. By the way OP, nice BMW! I got confused for a second why the steering wheel was on the right side of the car but then o noticed your location said U.K.

"Daytona x 4… with my EXPII & Air King at 4 each making them some of the rarest models in terms of sheer numbers out there!"
Am I understanding this correctly... in one year, the AD gets no more Explorer IIs or Air Kings than the Daytona (four each?) |

Congrats! AK is a great reference. I also own another “unloved” reference, 116400. I own these because I love them.

Congrats and enjoy
![]() Makes a nice change to see a different collection. These days, seems like everyone has the "standard" LV-BLRO-DayctonaC collection. |
