Sorry, with respect, I am not surprised to see a ransom paid for this King in its future (as it is).

Someone "fixed" the new Air-King dial

IMHO this photoshop change makes the Air-King dial design 100% better and more coherent. Maybe in 4 years Rolex will "fix" the Air-King dial in this way, just like they took a few years to fix the hands on the 39 mm Explorer. Photo from a commenter on Hod...  

This is PRECISELY what I thought...

When I first saw it. "Copy the Bloodhound SSC instruments and stop confusing us with these daft hour numerals!" I like it - finally, it's coherent. Best E.

If they copied the Bloodhound dial exactly with the 3-6-9 subdial

it would have been an awesome new watch!

You can see from the Bloodhound instrument panel where they got the idea to use the 3-6-9

but IMHO it should have stayed in a subdial.

I don't know... I quite like it as it is, a bit crazy, out of the beaten paths. But this is only my feeling.

I can easily understand that it " disturbs ". Best, my friend. Nicolas

Like a disturbance in the Force :-))

Nicely put. ;) [nt]
