The topic of the new Rolex Air-King came up elsewhere on the MB, today. I checked it out. What a change since I won mine in a sales contest in 1971! Not just in style. It is now a chronometer, no date. When I won mine, it came from Rolex directly, with a hang tag price of $215.00! This one is all original, except for the after-market bracelet, the original having been destroyed by our son 30 years ago, when I mistakenly let him wear it for a few months🫨 .

Very happy to have this one back from the spa. 145.022/68 My first Speedy purchase in 2015 with crummy eBay photos and a lovely Spiedel 😉

All cleaned up and the lume just ever slightly green. Love this hobby.

I know we all have different views on weapons and their use. I for instance find it very bad taste to make direct references to killing other humans on a watch forum.

edit: as the original post has been changed I see no reason the controversial part being shown here in my post either.

Ohhhh....ok...did you change it?
