Show Your 34mm Rolex

For some 36mm seems like pushing the envelope for minimum size; for me the 34mm Rolex feels great and looks great, imho. It took years before I was able to find one I wanted. I'm still on the look out for an Airking. Post photos if you've got them!!!

Here's my 6694...

Great watches Lee. Here's a shot of my 14233M OP. It was my first Rolex bought in 2004. It served me well until 2012 and then my wife began wearing it.

Great watch. I really enjoyed wearing it.

bad photo, but it's a birth year watch and for special occasions even if it's just an AK

Yes, the engine bezel makes it appear a little bigger in its proportions, but it's exactly 34 mm and very comfy on my wrist.

Absolutely nothing "just" about AKs. Very nice watches. A friend at work has one and I'm always impressed when I see it on his wrist. It looks great!!!

Sharp looking; I bought a date at one point and returned it because it has problems and would cost too much to repair. Great watches.

Just as a PS.. theres a movie out that features a nice Air King in close ups and more than one time.

Its called "A cure for wellness".
(This film is not for the faint of heart)



He uses his Air King to keep track of time while trapped in an Asylum.



Check it out if you want to see the Classic Air King in action on the big screen ;)
