    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.

    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.

    hi, love your videos on the IWC. Can you do a video on the various straps you use for your green Mark XX??

    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

    I like them both, but I like the AK's resale value much more. Just in case I ever decide to sell 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.

    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
