- I review the underrated 116900 Air-King from the perspective of 6 months of ownership and use. It is an excellent watch and perhaps the best value professional purchase. Here is the link to my purchase experience-

Have had my Air-King for over a year. Never wanted a Rolex till I saw this one. Best choice I’ve made for myself. Wear yours in good health. 🖖🏽
I love this watch. I’ve had it for quite some time now. You can feel the steel. It’s just a funky watch. Buy what you love. It is a keeper. 👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿
Fantastic update Bruce...just the fact that you still have the Air-King after 6 months tells us it is a special watch. Thank you for sharing your love for this watch with us :)
I keep reading here how this watch is so hated by the same guys that say they love it??? Honestly I've not known personally or heard of anyone who hates it. It's an uber cool watch, looks awesome, wears great, is versatile in that it's "sports" but also "dressy", goes well with jeans and with a tux. I was strictly a Rolex guy for years. Had the subs, gmts, datejusts, explorers, even a Daytona, then moved away to the omega, Tudor, zenith, but this air king has brought me back...just bought one!
I love my Air King. It’s the perfect mate for my white dial Milgauss.
It's grown on me. It's like a flashy Explorer. Plus there's always something cool about wearing a piece that others just don't get. Especially from Rolex.
I love this watch because it s a diffrent rolex
I found this is watch has an appeal that grows gradually as you wear it. Yes, its busy looking but once you get used to it the quirkiness becomes endearing. Which means other people will love or hate. Seems like this watch is for the wearer.
Great review. So cool that you give Air-King some love.
I was never a Rolex guy but I am a pilot. I wanted to find a nice watch to start my collection and this one instantly popped out to me. Looking to get one.
Everyone hates this thing but I really like it. The green font is unique. 5 is my favorite number (more specifically 555). So I bought one for my pops and he loves it.
You can’t see this watch then un-see it. After watching this video I hit Chrono24 and eBay comparing pricing on new and used Air Kings; too high. Remembered Bruce Taligent talking about his AD and decided to make a few local calls. The first call I made yielded an incoming Air King that hadn't been put in their system. I asked for 24 hour hold and went to pick it up the next day. In person, it is more impressive than in the pics. Great laid back experience at the store and was able to establish a relationship with the manager. Beautiful thing is I paid retail (thanks for your advice Bruce). Walked out knowing what all the haters would say, while wearing a huge smile on my face that I still can’t get off. Everybody copies Rolex but won’t ever do the funky Air King. I’m ok with that and and the fact that I saved $2000 in the process. It pays to be patient. Thanks Bruce
Great review. Had mine for a year and wear it on a Rubber B with the green stripe. All unloved Models become beloved over time.
I love the green in this watch. Its definitely underrated.
Have been wearing my Air-king for 3 years, the more I look at it the more it grows on me. Wear yours in good health!
Since the start of the new airking i have it on the radar,2 days ago i purchased a new one and i love this watch at most of my other Rolex,the airking makes no stress and fitts you around the clock!
Finally got to try 1 last week at my AD. WOW, it’s even better looking in the metal. Been eyeing it up for nearly a year now, think I’m going to go for it. 👍
I have both old and new. I love it the AK. One of those watch you have to see in person. It doesn't do justice in pictures.
It is my second favorite Rolex because it is unique even to the explorer
I love this watch very much, eventhough it's my first rolex. This is simple but very elegant. I used blue rubber B to avoid many scratch on the bracelet. It's value for money.
