Beautiful, enjoy!

JDAURIA · 02-08-2023, 02:43 PM

Anyone willing to part with their OP yellow dial?

Stunning watch, congratulations.

I waited nearly 2 years for mine.

I have this, too, and love it.....I had a Sub way back when and thought it was boring. Love the GMT!

My favorite GMT

Looking for a preowned Cameron Deep Sea. Anyone have one they are looking to part with?

Saw an article about luxury watches taking a hit this upcoming year. If possible to buy at/below MSRP would be nice if new.

Below MSRP AND New is highly doubtful.

Coolio--

My wife got "the call" today. A brand-new 126900 Air King with my name on it is being held at my AD.

My wife was going to surprise me for my birthday, but the AD texted me instead by accident.

We're in Costa Rica, but she's going to go pick it up on Friday.

Now, I need to get a strap made for it as I'm not a bracelet fan.

Any suggestions on a good strap maker? (I have the Everest Nylon on my Sub, but they only make rubber ones for the Air King).

That would be my choice for the Air King. It has an aviation vintage feel.

Congrats! I can tell you what won't work, and that's a crown and buckle supreme 1 piece nato. The space between the case and the pin is extremely thin and I couldn't get the strap through without bending the pin. I didn't bust out the seamstress ruler but space is very limited, maybe 1mm. It kind of relegates you to a cheap, thin Amazon strap. The bracelet is very nice, if it's any consolation and you end up like me, unable to find a strap you can make work.

Badboy8813 · 03-08-2023, 07:25 PM

Got the call last week. Rootbeer club!

JDAURIA · 03-08-2023, 07:39 PM

I've been waiting 13 months so far for my GMT. I hope to hear soon!

3 years?!?! If it was a Daytona I would say OK but damn!

I already have a BLNR (Batman) but I bought it on secondary market for over MSRP but still got a good deal in my opinion.

OtoPA · 03-08-2023, 09:38 PM

Lots of nice watches, eventually need cleaning.

A cautionary tale: Had my dad's '64 (or so) Pepsi GMT approaching 50 yr life cycle, opted for preemptive Factory care in Dallas. Took watch to BB jeweler in Scottsdale for ship out. weeks go by, no estimate from Dallas. Called BB jeweler, they can't find watch, Rolex.. never got it. likely pilfered from Jeweler. Jeweler offers 'same year, same model..' yeah, well it was my DAD's watch. (I still have the timing document)

Settled with new GMT. Hard to let your treasures out of sight, even 'reputable' jewelers can have shady staff. Yeah, I have a Rolex.. still miss 'that Rolex'...

Similar story. Fathers Audemar was sent in for service. Never seen again...

I’ve been waiting a year for my BLNR on jubilee. I had to give up my slot when the watch arrived as I couldn’t make it in time to collect it. Oh well….

Maybe it's just the pic but it looks like the crystal is broken (piece missing) between the 8 & 6.
