This is mine and is IMO the best Rolex I've owned

I love this model, saw it once at an ad couldn't keep my eyes off it!

Think they're discontinued aren't they?

I love the little gold crown on the dial, it's an absolute touch.

I'm a big fan of the Air-Kings, an absolutely beautiful piece.

I keep looking at them online and I'm so tempted to follow it up with a purchase but I just can't get my head round the 34mm size. I can wear my 36mm DJ without a problem but I just feel Air-King is slightly under what I'm comfortable with.

Have considered the possibility of putting it on a bund to make it wear a little larger.

Look forward to seeing many more wrist shots

Handed down from my Dad. Now worn by my wife. 50+ years old (AK and not my wife!) and its still going strong! It will get handed down to the next generation!
