Hi Abel
Thanks for the welcome, yes spring is coming to the Nordics and the hedge starting to turn green is always a good sign summer is just around the corner. As for the Airking, I got it quite recently in February, having originally been waiting for the old version I was a bit unsure initially about the changes made. The addition of the 0 took it away from its Bloodhound dial roots and the crown guards bemused me a bit. However, after wearing it, I found those concerns melted away and am really enjoying the casual style and charm of this under the radar, slightly random, Rolex. Thanks for looking and have a great weekend. D.

Hello again Drek! My pleasure! I’m glad to know you…
… will be enjoying beautiful weather soon. And thank you for sharing your thoughts about the new Air King version. Very interesting to read. Previous version dial was criticized for the lacking 0. I own it but it doesn’t bother me that detail. I feel main...
Nice to say hi to another
Air King owner 😀. I did not know about the criticism for the ‘missing’ 0, I had assumed that after Bloodhound ended and with the new ref, Rolex just thought it time to update a bit. I hope you enjoy yours even if you are moving into winter, sometimes the ...
Thank you! Same here. Yes, you know, critics are always ready to focus in little things. Lol. I confess I didn´t pay attention to that matter till it was a comment in different...
... places: forums, IG, etc.. It is true that the Bloodhound instruments was the inspiration of the original dial and that this new version is an update of the original model. In any case this dial is fantastic and a very different move to other Rolex dia...

Hello Kurt! It looks like Spring is making a rather shy but steady arrival in your place. But plants and grass announce that it is there and that you´ll be able to enjoy a nice Spring Time soon.
Loved your shot of lovely Margot signaling the presence of pheasants nearby! Thank you so much for your entry Kurt! Have a nice Sunday. Best, Abel
Many thanks for hosting Abel
Spring is when I swap out my winter straps for lighter colors with caoutchouc linings. I live in a climate which is sunny, hot and humid so rubber lined straps are the way to go in summer. This one is rubber backed canvas compare to the winter alligator. ...

I really enjoy the Duometre in the summer in this strap. It’s an absolute whir of activity when the Chronograph is running 😊
Superb watches & perfect choices for straps !
My personal favs are the very first light blue, the one for your Panerai and the hilarious one for your lovely Voutilainen GMT-6 ! Well done !! 😊😊
Great theme Abel!
