I just got an Air King on Wed. I think I love it. I almost feel like it is too small (crazy coming from me) it always looks so much bigger in pictures than in real life. I need honest opinions, keep it or trade it for a 36mm. The Air King is 34mm. Also blue v. black. Thanks. Rolex stresses me out because they give too many choices! For reference my usual watch is a mid size TF. So this one is for summer/sporty days.

Here she is:

Here is a pic I took of all my watches to show size. The Explorer on the end is my husbands it is 40mm, the Air King is 34mm, the Cartier is midsize, and the Tag is a ladies size (?)

And one more of the AK on my wrist.

momma22 - Being a mom of 3 darling children and running them all around town - I'm in jeans 99% of the time! So the blue works great for me. I have a white j12 and a black j12 if I want to mix it up!
 
I think it looks really nice on you! I would not get the larger size because you already have the Explorer (with black dial) and it would be too similar. And the Air-King has a lower profile than the larger watches that makes it sleek and sporty...sort of like a sports car in watch form! It is a perfect size for a woman, and the price is definitely right! Blue is classic. I felt the 36mm was too large for me, and opted for the midsize Yacht-Master which is similar in size to (but chunkier than) the Air-King. For a while I wanted a Datejust next, but now I think I want a Sub Date instead.
