    Rolex' best model in current production and an easy winner 🎉

    Love the uniqueness of the Airking. I wanted a simple Rolex, like the Explorer or the OP. I never considered the AK until I saw it in person. No regrets, so far. Great video.

    Interesting comparison - thanks for sharing. The IWC Pilot Mark XX is far more aesthetically pleasing, especially with the iridescent green dial.

    Nothing wrong with the Rolex but if anyone else made it, you wouldn’t be talking about it. The IWC is class though.

    Loved the video and appreciated your analysis, especially since I already had an IWC Mark (XV) but with a black dial. Still felt for the originality of the Air King and glad I got the call from my AD about 2 months ago. I absolutely ❤ it.

    I like the Air king dial... except for when I want to read the time when the plethora of numerals overwhelms the space. The IWC does tick All the boxes which is very rare ... it's narrower case, a legible if somewhat dated dial, an utterly brilliant bracelet with a much more attractive facility for extension and the 120 PR. Whoa!
    I need to try them both on as they might be pushing the size envelop for my smaller wrist. I have a two tone explorer 36mm and I do think that the Rolex Clasp while secure is oversized and the little flippy locking widget sharp and somewhat pointless.
    Ultimately it will be an on the wrist decision....the overhanging lugs of the IWC, the extendable bracelet, the bevelled links and push button changeability (not to forget the 120 PR) might be the clincher.

    It’s a close one for sure but one thing I find jarring with the Mk XX is the size of the crown, it just looks wrong.

    Both are my favourite watches, I tried the air king simple style but very adaptable.
    But I hate is being on the waitlist.
    IWC dial is amazing, the closest was I got to a IWC is fortis b42 , only this I dislike on the IWC is lack of lume , as this is a pilot watch, it should glow more in dark

      @hammalamiri12 16 дней назад

      The waitlist for an airking is 1 - 3 months having just purchased 1 previous purchase of anything from the AD lol, it also trades pretty close to retail so if you like it buy it there is no excuse

    • @Anonymouslyme1
      @Anonymouslyme1 14 дней назад

      The MK XX has an identify crisis though because the original watch was a field watch not a pilot’s watch, IWC flipped it in the 2010’s.

    The only thing Rolex has going for it is its name. The dials are unimaginative and sometimes ugly take away. The resale Rolex holds onto with both hands and feet. It would be forgotten as Steinhart.

    The IWC seems to be a more legit pilot watch to me. The airking always felt like a wanna-be to me. It's just a renamed explorer 1

    • @Anonymouslyme1
      @Anonymouslyme1 14 дней назад

      This IWC was always a field watch not a pilot’s watch, they flipped it in the 2010’s. So the Mk XX is not an authentic pilots watch at all.
