â¨What Makes This Model Special?
The following excerpt from beckertime describes the rich history of the air-king perfectly:
Â
âThe Air-King name is one that dates back to the darkest days of the Second World Wcaar. The incredible heroics of the U.K.âs Royal Air Force were the only thing that stood in the way of the German invasion of England. News of their desperate but ultimately successful defense of the country during the Battle of Britain in 1940 became the stuff of folklore worldwide, and soon came to the ears of Rolex founder Hans Wilsdorf. A true anglophile, who had built his fledgling business in London at the turn of the century, Wilsdorf set about creating a family of aviation-based âAirâ watches in tribute to the brave pilots.
By the end of the war in 1945, the others in the collection (the Air-Tiger, Air-Lion and Air-Giant) had all been retired, leaving only the Air-King in production. With the exception of a couple of years well-earned rest between 2014 and 2016, it has been a constant in the catalog ever since.
Its styling has also been fairly consistent during that long life too. While there have been fleeting references that brought in a date function or added some precious metal to the case, the watch has remained humbleâthe vast majority were simple three-handers built from stainless steel.
So it is with the ref. 14000. It is one of the most restrained and understated designs in Rolexâs storied history, a 34mm tool model that was made to tell the time and nothing else. It is too, thanks to its small-for-the-modern-era dimensions and underdog status, one of the most appealing bargains in the vintage market today.â
I have done dozens of deals across many platforms and have lots of traceable references I can share.Â
I understand it is difficult to trust someone you’ve never met in person, especially when we are dealing with such large amounts of money, which is why I strive in providing a pleasant & transparent buying experience.Â
I’m a watch lover first and foremost looking to connect with other watch enthusiasts and provide an experience that is akin to more of a deal among friends rather than a simple transaction.Â
My ultimate goal is to be a friend you can reach out to when you are ready for your next piece, need to sell a piece, or just want to chat it up about watches, cars, or anything else.
