It’s awesome in person. On my shortlist. The vintage air kings are awesome for what they were, but today that niche in the lineup now is taken by Oyster perpetual and smaller case DJ imo. Air King became its own thing as the base tool watch and is formidable in its own right.
As far as Rolexes go you will likely not see one in the wild very often at all.
DJ? GMT, Sub etc? See them everywhere. Not remarkable. The Air King is actually interesting.

Every time I see this watch on someone’s wrist out in public it looks much much better than any image I’ve ever seen of it.

I’m not going that far, but it’s a good watch. Enjoy!
Man this bowl used to be a lot more lively 5-6 years ago. Gotta bring back the daily wrist shot let’s go!!
Here’s my 5170p….commemorating the year I made partner and the birth of my first child. Double special watch. 🥖
Most important thing is that you like it
