NEW Air King

# 126900
Its hard to imagine how much better this timepiece looks in person, the dial always seems to be exagerrated in most photographs..I was lucky enough to acquire this, last few days. The Dial is Very legible and the numerals appear natural in proportion.

Subtle changes to the untrained eye but boy are they big changes for those in the know.

Congrats OP. Such an improvement over the previous reference.

I pissed at you OP!!!!! This watch has been speaking to me lately and your post/pic might be the final kick in the butt to get me on the hunt!

Congrats!

I have this too. Unfortunately I had to go grey as I do not have a relationship with an AD and life is too short to waste time and money trying to persuade them to sell to me. For me it’s the crown guard that makes the watch over the previous version

I have had mine for about 4 months. I really like the green and yellow on the dial. Thinking of doing a green Everest band for summer.

I am loving the new Air King with the luminous 3-6-9 markers. The old solid chrome numbers ruined it for me but this new model really speaks to me.

Definitely a sleeper. That’s what I love about it. It’s not ostentatious, and doesn’t scream for attention.

For myself, when I see pictures of this watch, there’s too much going on on the dial. It’s far too busy for me. However, I tried one on at an AD and I really connected with it. It was very comfortable and it looked great on my wrist.
