Let's try this again...Vintage Rolex Airking content

[Nicko]

Ok, here we go, let's try this again. I found this 1.7 mil Airking and decided to pick it up, thanks to the last flip its a freebie  :|looks like it was ripped off grandpa's wrist after he got done changing the oil on the tractor and plowing the bak 40 by mule. It's definitely not been in anyone's collection, just like I like 'em. I bought it from a pawn shop in your neck of the woods Roscoe, down Boca Raton way, I'm sure you know of them buddy, "Boca Raton Pawn". It looks like it was taken from grandpa's sock drawer by his ungrateful grandchildren. Oh well, it's been saved. Here you go. Seller's pics.

Nice score. I haven't heard of them. I think they are far from me,

[aerome]

Nice score! Probably could have gotten it for 1/3rd the price if you got it before it was pawned.

pawnshopkiller it was a shot in the dark, they do a lot of business on-line which is where I got this one.

aerome you are 100% correct, but that business is being done by the pawnbrokers, in this economy I imagine guys like Roscoe are up to their armpits in pawns.

Rolex is a total different game pawn or not.

If you watch timemachines even the watch guru himself will tell you that you can take
your Rolex anywhere in the world into any shop and unless the dealer is a Rogue that you will get within 20% of any dealer anywhere.

Wow, that says all worth watching! Great analysis of why we are struck with this sickness for watches.

Thanks for sharing that. An amazing video that was worth every second spent watching it. I'll likely never want anything but Rolex again. Different brands get me tempted but can never maintain the desire to have them. This just goes to show how the Submariner is among the top must have pieces.

It should be about a week or so since the holiday is on Monday. I think I'm going to keep this one as long as I can live with 34mm, if not I will look for something else.

Getting to try out the different watches is the best way to decide   I tried on a Datejust back in 2010 (or 2009) at a local jewellery store that the owner had it for sale in. As my main watch there could be no way but it was nice though so I totally get where you're coming from regarding the size and seeing how that goes.
