Yes! I totally love mine. The dial is unique. The yellow and green color is refreshing.
The price you quoted is outstanding for a brand new piece.
If it appeals to you then you should buy it. If you change your mind later, then you can sell it and easily get your money back.

Maybe this pic will help you make up your mind.
Peace!

Mine gets more and more wrist time. I just love wearing it. In some peoples eyes its 'quirky ' to me its just a lovely Rolex timepiece, and a great addition to round off my modest collection.

I absolutely love mine and can't recommend it enough. Of all my current rolexes and patek it gets the most wrist time and I don't think I'll ever sell it

AK and Exp1 have been on my mind lately. If I were you, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

I'd much rather have an Exp1. Dial has never gave me the fizz.

The AK is awesome... fit and feel is very nice. You won't get your arise kissed by other owners, but who cares... it's a very unique watch with a great movement. Perhaps it doesn't hold resale as well as other top models, but it performs better than an oyster pep and Datejust... I don't have to worry about resale because I will never sell mine.

From what I can tell, the only lume is on the hands and at 12 o’clock. Now, if the Arabic numbers were lumed

I agree, that would have really made it pop but it still looks good!

I tried the Airking on, and I liked everything about it. Went back to dinner by the time I returned it was gone. Someone scored!

Tons. I am not a big fan of watches drawing attention, but I get the most comments on it

For me having the numbers with lume makes it easier to use the watch for timing. It's not a big issue but I think it would have made the watch better. Still love it though
