My Rolex Air-King Replica is my favorite watch for many reasons. It was the first watch my wife bought me. The gift was a sign that, despite some not-so-subtle suggestions from me about my watch obsession, she was beginning to get it. It is about the same age as I am, and it is nice to see a watch in good condition despite approaching fifty. The main reason why I love it, is because of that unavoidable magpie reflex - this watch was simply something I wanted from the moment I saw it on the internet.
Rolex Air-King Replica was introduced in the late 1960s as a solution for a problem watch wearers may not have known they had. The advertisements claimed that normal watches are awkwardly shaped for the wrist, but the Rolex Air-King Replica was oval-shaped and sat perfectly on the arm. The Rolex Air-King Replica was presented as an action watch that could be worn "in the ocean and in the shower". It also boasted of a water-resistance rating of 100 feet. This is not something to be proud about today, but it made the watch sound sporty fifty years ago.
It was re-designed in many different ways, with some variations on the same theme and others with an entirely new dial, such as one with a TV dial. Throughout the 1970s, the Rolex Air-King Replica slowly became part of the De Ville collection. By 1977, the Rolex Air-King Replica had disappeared.
Writing this article about my Rolex Air-King Replica taught me two things. It isn't the most popular model among Rolex Air-King Replica fans. In the early incarnation of the Rolex Air-King Replica, the case has satin-polished edges, while in the later versions, the case is highly-polished all over.Rolex Cellini Replica It's hard to tell because my watch arrived without any papers. However, the polished case and date but no day spec place it between 1972 and 1975. I was born in 1974, so this is close enough for me.
My watch was not as perfect as I had thought. Prices are steadily increasing, but you can get Rolex Air-King Replicas in excellent shape - even satin-cased earlier models - for less than $1,000. Zooming in on high-resolution photos allows me to see some wear on the case, and I've also noticed some marks on the dial. As I do not intend to sell it, this doesn't really matter. I am glad that I don't need to worry about making it perfect. It's okay to get a few bumps along the way - everyone does it at some point.
