The new Air King- Yay or Nay.

[Psmith]

I like it, and expect (hope) we'll see some other dial options in the future.

[1William]

No for me.

[nyyankees]

I like it. Wouldn't mind have one as my "under the radar" watch.

Not my cup of tea... Confusing dial and thick case.

It seems like a total divergence from the previous incarnations of Air King, which were small, discreet, simple and elegant. I have a later model 114210, which was my first rolex and that I love. This new thing is something totally different. There seems to be no linkage to the air kings of the past. I like the old air kings because they are simple, well made, and don't scream rolex. I don't like the new one for the exact opposite reasons, it's big, loud, and busy.

To me, the oyster perpetual's are the true successor to the air king line. This is something different.

I think the green looks great.

[kentrojan1]

Nay, looks too similar to explorer!

I like it! Especially the use of color!

[sickened1]

Nay for me. Looks a little too busy on the dial.

I like it

I generally have a rule for new designs with Rolex - could you see one of the $2 fakes in Thailand coming up with this design?

In this case it's a resounding yes - Rolex colour scheme and design cues all pasted together at once without any consideration for the whole.

Big no no.

[Charlie_pace]

Not a fan.

[Ironstark]

Love it. Curious to see the full spec. Flat sides, inner movement shield now listed as a professional model.

[ap1]

Yay

When people say milgauss case, do they also mean thickness?

[KBM]

Loved it! Great casual piece. Looks like a pilot watch!

[GradyPhilpott]

I have only two comments.

First, the Air King is not a watch I need, so it's neither here nor there for me.

The other thing I have to say is that the terms in question are, "yea" and "nay," which mean "yes" and "no," respectively.

[soho]

I really like what this watch is. I agree with many that the dial is too busy (for my taste), but that said it is fun dial and it's love is well deserved. The green and yellow touches are home runs IMHO, and if it had just the 3 6 and 9 I would be tempted. More importantly, I very much like th idea of a 39mm Air King with funky dials, and if Rolex sees fit to offer other dial options, I am pretty confident they would roll out that would interest me.

[donaldfasho]

Sorry but very ugly =(

[spd707]

I like the new Air King.

I know it's only one millimeter, but the AK is 40mm.

OK thanks!

[SwissFan99]

Love it!

[simongpaez]

I didn't like it

[mordeeb]

Question for all, the clasp on the air king is that the first that has an engraved crown? I really like that over the other style .

[doubleosullivan]

No love at first sight here. Not bumping any off my list.

[cosmoliu]

Not for me. I like my old 34mm AK.

[XZACM102]

I love it. Never considered Air King in the past but appreciate that Rolex did something more fun. How can you say no to that yellow/green combination ?

- The Big Yellow Crown
- The Green word Rolex

Don't Like
- WG 369
- All those numbers in the dial

In conclusion, if rolex have an option dial without all those numbers they will probably get my money

Like the older better but it is interesting.

[ppalasthira]

Yay!
