Affordable Replica Rolex Air-Kings
11 June 2010 |
While the first watch for pilots is widely considered to be the Rolex GMT-Master, launched in the 1960s, Rolex had already honored pilots with the creation of a line of watches in the 1940s. Called the Rolex Air-King, the timepiece was one of a number of Air watches, but it was the only one of them to survive past the ’60s. It is still in production today in two models, one made of stainless steel and the other a combination of stainless steel and white gold. The Air-King is part of Rolex’s renowned Oyster Perpetual Collection. Compared to the popular DateJust and Day-Date, the Air-King is understated and inexpensive. It originally had a dial of 32 mm, which was large at the time, but now even its 34 mm diameter seems modest compared to the brand’s many larger models today. The result is a watch that, while made to honor military service of pilots, has a look that is not military at all. Refined and sophisticated with an aviation connotation, it is one of Rolex’s most low-key watches but has found its way to the wrists of big time celebrities and politicians. However, for people who don’t have three thousand or so dollars to devote to buying a wristwatch, even the Air-King is not accessible. It’s no wonder replicas are gaining in popularity. A fake Rolex Air-King costs one or two hundred dollars typically, but the best of these replicas assure you a high functioning wristwatch with a look and design completely identical to genuine Rolex Air-Kings. Complete with reference numbers, logo, sapphire crystal glass that protects against scratches, and heavy construction, top notch Air-King replicas are sturdy, reliable and status marking timepieces. For the watch you covet at an affordable price, consider procuring a high quality fake Rolex Air-King.
