Hello from Australia

Always enjoyed a good watch and currently own 5 which I wear as per my life style. This is my first venture into obtaining a Rolex, and take the plunge into something high end so I come with many questions!

Been lurking for a bit, so happy to join and share my new fascination. I think most people discard the possibility of owning a Rolex outright without even looking at the reality out there, namely that there are watches for every budget.

For me the Air King is the holy grail to simplicity and style in a Rolex, with a soft spot for an engine turned bezel.

Hoping to find a reputable seller here in Australia but if no luck, will have to look at the US. Thanks for letting me join!

Welcome.

Air Kings have great history, and are still making history with the new movements.

Verify the reputation of any seller very carefully.

welcome to the forum and I would second what Steve says above.
A very common saying around here is "buy the seller, not the watch".
Don't buy a watch just because it looks like a good deal.
Do your due diligence in the who's who and watch out sections here and ask questions if you need to and you should be okay.
