@jrpippen - love your AK! Are you saying that you think the hands are too small, and there's not enough luminous paint on them? And that the AK date has bigger hands?

I'm looking at getting an AK in the next 6 months. I really like the dark blue face, as I think it makes the hands easier to read. (I'm used to a Mondaine with big black hands against a white face!).

I've noticed that some Air Kings have the word "precision" on the face rather than "superlative chronometer officially certified". Obviously, the ones labeled "precision" do not have the chronometer certificate. But is there any difference in day to day use? I assume it still keeps good time!

What I'm really looking for is a mechanical automatic that is impervious to water, sand, sweat, and looks good in a simple, understated manner. The AK seems to tick all my boxes, but I'm a little confused by some of the small differences between the models.

Thanks for any advice!
