Air King 116900 Release Date
Hello everyone,
I recently graduated from law school, and have my eye on the Air King 116900 that was introduced at Basel World this year. Does anyone know when the release date for the watch is? I would greatly appreciate any insight, thanks! |

No one knows, but late August or September is a good guess.
I don't think I've seen anyone reporting that they've seen one outside of Basel. Sometimes Rolex gets watches out pretty fast, like the 116500. Sometimes it takes awhile.

One incoming in the UK, and one sighting in Australia, I believe. Shouldn't be long now.

I tried one on at an AD in the UK last weekend, so they are around over here at least!

Here is one for sale already. This is a trusted seller I know and he has it in stock. I think it has probably gone now. What is the RRP of this watch?

I just checked, RRP is the same at £4,150 so not bad price he's selling at considering I don't think anyone can really get one yet? I am not really interested in the air king anyone else maybe enquire. I don't know if it's sold I am just guessing

Tough to say but they seem to be trickling in. Just spoke with the manager at my AD and he expects it to be a hit as he has a list of buyers waiting.

I talked to many AD, in France and in UK, and they all told me there is no wait list for this model.

Just to clarify, my AD was not implying demand would outstrip supply, just that he's had numerous inquiries and some buyers waiting.

Oh man that just makes me want it even more! I called some local ADs and they said early Fall, hopefully I don't have to wait that long. But I'm glad they are being spotted, so hopefully even sooner! |
