Hands-On: Some Quick Thoughts On The New Rolex Air-King Versus The New Explorer (Live Pics, Official Pricing)
The most interesting, or I should say curious, introduction from Rolex this year is the Air King reference 116900. First, I never really expected to see an Air-King at all ever again after the new Oyster Perpetual was brought out last year, but here it is. And on top of that, the Air-King is back in, frankly, a semi-foreign form as a 40 mm, anti-magnetic aviator's watch with a multi-color logo. We'll get to that, so let's first talk about the brand new Explorer, which is a really similar watch, also introduced this year, that, in my opinion, will be often compared to the new Air-King. The Rolex Explorer Reference 214270 1 OF 4 The new Explorer features new luminous applications and longer, wider hands for better legibility. So the new Explorer reference 214270, as introduced here on HODINKEE last week, is very much the same as the outgoing iteration of the same reference with its Oyster Perpetual case at 39 mm, 100-meter water resistance, and in-house caliber

Thoughts on a two tone 5402 acquisition?
I have found locally a two tone gold/steel. And I need your kind input on this buy. Is it worth it, is better than the 15202 in terms of value at it's price point of nearly $11k?Baring in mind it was serviced professionally by x JLC watchmaker. It comes with letter of Authenticity from it's origin without orignal box or paper.Thanks in advance,

Can PP use JLC caliber 920 in their new watches if they want to?
PP once used the JLC caliber in Nautilus. I know that PP now prefer doing everything in-house. But can they use this legendary movement again in new watch development if they want?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Slo-Mo iPhone Video For Authentication.
I took an iPhone Slo-Mo Video of my first Rolex Purchase and did the same thing recently for my 2nd purchase. I was able to Clearly Observe The Eight Tics per second of the Seconds Hand Travel. Has anyone else used this method to help in Authentication? Seems like this would be a big help to Weed Out The Non 28,800bph (or higher beat Zenith or slower beat Ladies Watches) Movements.
