24th of February 2019: My first birthday with the Rolex Air King 116 900.
Why do we often say that watches are more than watches? Here is a story which demonstrates the reason behind that statement. On the 24th of February, I was in Spain, Valencia, for some days with my daughter. Just to spend some time with her and to grab a ...
Oh yes, I remember as if it was yesterday my friend ! 😉
That surely makes this Air King a very special specimen in your collection. Enjoy it a lot Nico, wear it in the very best of your health, and give my kindest regards to your little princess (although she is not anymore little btw ).
As the saying goes...
Life is like a box of chocolates, we live and enjoy new experience every single day. Best with our loved ones and dear friends! Cheers! SF

It’s always a treat to be reminded of what this life is all about. Love, friends, family, experiences together. Thanks for such a positive expression to give some perspective this Sunday.

Can't say I'm a fan of this watch but every time I see your pictures I think it looks pretty good (I would put it above a Milgauss). How did it get stolen?
Dear friend..
I still cant get over the picture of your daughter face looking at you. My favorite part of this story, is that it clearly means so much to you. Isnt that the meaning of being here... Thank you for this beautiful post. - seriously, I dont know anyone else...
Bravo, excellent post. I too remember my first Rolex an Airking too.
I gave money that I saved up when I was still in school. Gave it to my mother and told her to buy me a Submariner. Just add to the money I gave her. When she traveling in the States with a brother. She found a Sub but thought it expensive for 1 in school ...
You can judge a man by his friends
Thank you for sharing these experiences. This watch is much more than the one you had stolen. I wish for it to bring joy to you and your generations.
Wonderful story!!!!
You are truly blessed my friend ,and you rightfully deserve it!! with respect and sincerity Tony
Excellent history
The AK is gonna be a future classic. I am certain about it. It already has many nicknames such the bloodhound, the weird looking rolex etc. I may just get one too because I like the restrained craziness of the design.
