Great looking AK!

oneillba · 5 October 2008, 04:42 AM

That is the blingiest Air King that I have ever saw. Thanks, still tasteful, however.

365drills · 6 October 2008, 08:46 PM

Yes enough bling to make it look special. Not too much to make it look like a cheap fake.

Rolex got it just right with this basic model.

Subtle !

toph · 6 October 2008, 09:34 PM

looks great!!! very impressed

lorsban · 6 October 2008, 11:45 PM

Nothing basic about that beauty

Lisa · 7 October 2008, 12:48 AM

I didn't know you could get an AK with diamonds. Very striking!

365drills · 7 October 2008, 03:44 AM

In VEGAS you can get anything!

(Including Diamonds)

kcmo · 7 October 2008, 05:55 AM

I think it looks great! Love those romans and diamond markers. Don't you find the hands a bit hard to read though against the dark dial?

365drills · 7 October 2008, 10:29 PM

Yes downside is that
a) There is no luminous paint so cant tell the time in the dark
b) Hands are difficult to see in the dark
c)Hands are all so similar in width that its easy to confuse them.

So you end up staring at the watch which makes you look like some kind of nut who is swooning over his watch rather than someone who wants to know the time.

Come on Rolex sort the hands out on black dial watches. We are supposed to use them to tell the time!

Wow!! FANTASTIC!

For the price of the diamonds, you would have thought the dealer would have fitted DJ hands with luminova & given you the original AK hands to keep.

That is a beauty either way.

vduzin12 · 15 October 2008, 11:07 AM

nicely done

365drills · 27 January 2009, 04:16 AM

I've had it four months now and am suprised how quickly the stainless steel scratches. Got quite a lot of heavy duty scratches mixed with lighter ones.

I do a lot of heavy duty tiling / plumbing and installation work but even so I assumed it wouldnt scratch as much as it does.

pricojorge · 28 January 2009, 04:06 AM

never seen one, looks great

365drills · 17 February 2013, 10:13 PM

After 5 years I have dropped it and smashed it

Sorry to hear; good luck with the repair.

joe100 · 18 February 2013, 01:43 AM

It's an easy fix. Not the end of the world. Few hundred bucks and it'll be like new. It likely needed a service anyway.

365drills · 27 February 2013, 04:30 AM

I did also want to change from a black to a white bezel so wonder if they will part ex
