outstanding on the dial of the new Daytona too! ... Would give it another boost of racing feeling.
Nevertheless, great looking Air-King that is!

Rolex 2016: An unexpected new Air King.
By: amanico : March 16th, 2016-15:09
The most surprising new Rolex, blending hours ( 3 / 6 / 9 ) and minutes. The one which pleases me the most, with the new Rolex Daytona, but with a preference for this Air King. I like the blend of hours and minutes in the dial a lot. Very original! Best, ...
green

I like the mix of green on the second hand matching the Rolex on the dial.
Agreed

Love the branded color scheme. I very interesting, and youthful, watch.
This one is already ordered!

Thats something cool from Rolex! I could live without that novel at six o'clock...but my favorite from Rolex this year! Best Tempus
I too liked it, Nico

It\'s kind of quirky in a good way, me thinks. To be seen in the flesh. In any case, having the Air King line back is a great surprise. Thanks for sharing, Nico. Abrazo, Alejandro

It definitely screams Rolex in a big way..
By: KC74 : March 16th, 2016-17:28
..yellow Rolex crown and green wording.. Hold on....it screams Rolex in a "modern digital" way... But it ain\'t a "smart watch".. Earlier said, very modern in a classic mechanical updated manner. Lovely.
I agree!

This model shocked me more than the revamped SS Daytona. I thought Rolex was getting rid of the Air-King completely⭐️
This wasn't a home run for me.

I like the color combo, but all the Arabic numerals together give me a feeling of claustrophobia. If this were a bigger watch with a more expansive dial, I might feel differently. Cheers, Daos
Maybe!
By: dxboon : March 16th, 2016-23:43
There is certainly historical precedent for such a Rolex offering. Daos
Nice watch
By: pedrobsb : March 16th, 2016-21:40
But the design, aint for me baby... Today at the other forum I participate we vastly discussed this design, it was almost unanimous that the dial is "too much innovative"... Cheers
agreed
By: pedrobsb : March 17th, 2016-07:15
maybe we are "too much conservative" sometimes.
Same here my friend. I like it as well.

I still wonder if there is any technical difference between the Milgauss and this new model. Upon a first inspection, it seems not, which is slightly strange. All the very best! Alexandros
Very big surprise. The Air-King reborn as a Sport/Professional Model.
By: reintitan : March 16th, 2016-23:58
I don't think Rolex has ever taken an entire (non-Sports) 34 mm Ø watch line, discontinued it, and then resurrected the name as a single model...and into a 40 mm Ø Sports watch to boot. I usually loathe the green color that Rolex threw onto their watches ...
flying numbers
By: COUNT DE MONET : March 17th, 2016-01:48
it is so dynamic with the combination of the different numbers that you believe the numbers are moving, flying from the back to the front, on the dial ... at least to me it looks like that . A very elegant, fresh and colourful watch with esprit that has t...
I like it too
By: Mark in Paris : March 18th, 2016-10:22
Very nice combination. As Rolex is a master in picturing its watches, I'll wait for the "live" experience but very attractive indeed. Thanks Nicolas. Cheers, Mark

I think there are many who doesn't like it but I think it is nice just because of its difference with those colourfulness.
I really like it
By: Mr OP : March 21st, 2016-00:23
I, ve allways wanted a real toolwatch Rolex This one shares the Explorer dial now discontinued and the thicker case and crown of the Milgauss. Add the Air King name, a touch of color and atypic index and you have a winner ! Might be my next Rolex ! Just w...
Dial looks wrong...
By: patrick_y : March 22nd, 2016-18:36
Something about this watch just doesn't look right to me. The DNA of the dial is off to me. The way the dial is printed in such a "flat" manner makes the whole watch just look fake. The Rolex lettering in green against the black background looks almost co...
