Lovely!

New (but not new) watch day today!

Looks better in natural light rather than LCD reflection :)

I really do think the 5700 is the prettiest Rolex ever made. Good work!

Was produced in relatively limited numbers too.

Although setting the date is an absolute bitch.

Tell me about it, just did ten days 😆😭

Thanks! I agree (obviously). Been building up to this for two decades. Always thought I wanted a 36mm DJ (wonderful) but over time my tastes changed slightly. You helped me see the light 🙂

The end links look in good shape. Looks like you've found a good one.

Park life today. Wish I had @JAHtim’s gloves.

Need orange strap.

Madness!

Looks fantastic, blued hands or not - think this or @Thrustvector’s Navigator are my favourites of Eddie’s current crop.

Just lovely, my favourite Air-King.

Little mistake here, ha. Checked and is the regular 41mm, not a bad price: https://www.chisholmhunter.co.uk/tudor-black-bay-automatic-mens-watch-m79230n-0004.html

Ha, wish I was cool enough to pull that look off!

V smart too

thank you. :o)

Love the Airking, very elegant watch.

Smashing Air-King, is it to mark an occasion? Guessing early 70s by the bracelet?

Thank you all for the kind comments. It’s an ‘86 model, not that there’s anything significant in that. No occasion really... I was forty last year. It was a ‘why not’ decision.

Just keep flossing, you’ll be alright ;-)

Lovely thing.. Wear in good health.

FTFY.

that air king is close to perfection - spot on size for you too

Thanks! Been one of those days where I keep glancing down, seeing this and smiling from ear to ear!
