pman Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 I'm thinking about getting this Air King. I like the simplicity of the watch. How does it compare to the gen in regards to accuracy? I'm looking for help from the Rolex experts. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 For a 14000M rep, it's not bad. Dunno about the color of the dial though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pman Posted September 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 I just checked ebay and they go from $1600 to $2500. Still fairly pricey, especially for a model that is not very desireable. Ubiquitous, I can't find the dial colors on the Rolex site. All they show is blue. Do you have any ideas where I might find out if the silver/white dial is offered as a gen? I just checked ebay and they go from $1600 to $2500.

Linder Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 I figure they have probably made about every color combination possible over the years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehtolcad Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 don't worry, you'll never meet an airking WIS anyways. buy that dial if that's the one you like. the people you meet in the real world do not know the difference between a SEL and a TRL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 If you go to www.alanfurman.com/ and look up Rolex watches and scroll down, you'll see an Air King w/ the Roman Numeral dial for around $2,800 and some change. Model 14010M. Automatic movement, but not chronometer rated. It's a bare bones watch. Oliver's thinking of the vintage Precisions like a 6694, which were manual wind movements. This is the new version, but still the cheapest of the Rolex line. As ehtolcad says, "If you like the watch, get it!" And be thankful that you're not so stupid as to pay $2800 for the real thing.

jfa657 Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 I have several AirKings from Trusty,Joshua ,Silix and Paul. It is my favorite Rolex and you won't go wrong with your purchase. The only real fault is the case size. The AirKing case is slightly smaller than the DateJust but who can tell the difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 The blurb at Furman said 34mm, so that's the same size as the Date case. And ancient folklore says the Date model was developed for the Asian market where people are smaller. Maybe the same holds for the Air King.
