Choose only 1 : Air King 126900 or Explorer 40 ?

Asked my AD about the one he was wearing under sleeve one day. It was actually a Tudor Ranger. Ended up purchasing the AK. I like the 05 addition and the pops of color.

Had both. Preferred the AK by far.

For me the AK as it’s a sportier quirky watch, whereas the Explorer is a bit more of a formal piece.

Wow - I expected a bigger win for the Explorer. There’s more love out there than I thought for the air king.

But what do I know - I love the Explorer II.

Air-King for me. Different dial type, great daily beater and the most recognizable green and yellow Rolex colour combo on top

What you going to do with the results? Buy a watch based on an internet poll?

Wanna see other member opinions about these 2. As they both has the same aesthetic (movement Cal 3230, same diameter at 40, and same black dial color, smooth bezel, Oyster bracelet). The price range almost similar as well.

AK got the more interesting dial for me.
