Incoming Air King

Had one a long time ago and sold it because of the thickness and case back, which prevented it from sitting comfortably on my wrist. The new, slimmer model is perfect. Very pleased to get this one from my AD.

I requested it about six months ago and was assured I’d see one before the end of the year. I also have a long purchase history with this AD.

Thickness is definitely important to me for comfort.
Great to hear that Rolex has improved the wearability of this model!
