I have a 6.5 inch wrist. My 15003 fits me perfectly.

Please show off yours 'small' watch from your collection. Cheers

Just wonderful. While everyone is hung up on bulky sport watches, and I don’t think it gets more beautiful than that watch. Perfection.

Thanks! That 5501 came as a TT with a fluted gold bezel and jubilee bracelet. I put a smooth bezel with a TT oyster bracelet on another 5500 with gold hands because I thought they looked good together!

Cheers,
Rick

Air King 5500

This is a great thread. Here is my 1958 Air King 5500, which I absolutely love. It came with a later model Oyster bracelet, stamped 1971. Found it on eBay from a seller in England. Back from a recent service and ticking like a dream.

My 34mm 15038 was the first Rolex I had and the only one for 31 years before I bought a SubC.

A gift from my late Mom, it has been serviced at RSC Dallas, and they did a great job. Very accurate, and it reminds me of Mom every time I wear it.

I added the alligator leather strap and an 18kt buckle while it was at Rolex.

I posted these photos elsewhere on the forum but I can't resist adding them to this thread.

Some fantastic watches on this thread! Here’s my ‘72 6694 with grey dial. Recently added a grey perlon strap and still debating if I should keep it or if I should go back to the Oyster bracelet.

Beautiful watches everyone! This thread is inspiring me to add a vintage 34mm w/ date to my collection. Here's my late 90's 14000m:

Good choice and look great on you. Share more pictures of this beauty with us.
I have one similar color dial like yours but with domino logo.

Happy to oblige!



The Air King is my most comfortable watch by far. Fits my wrist perfectly and slides perfectly under shirt cuffs. Elegant and understated. My favorite part of the watch is the cursive "Air King" font on the dial. Love subtle little details like that.

I would love to own more 34mm's!
