Do Air Kings also have dates on them? I know DJs do; but, was unsure of the Air Kings. And if so, what is the difference in movement between the DJ and AK?

Hey TF,

I don't believe they do.. Take a look at this thread with the picture of a current AK.. VERY nice AK... :thumbup1:

As to the movement question, I'll defer to someone else.. :biggrin:

I did not think so either; but, today, I thought I saw an AK w/ a date (no inner scription on the bezel). I must be working to hard......

And trying to get a SB ticket. Kills me. As a fan of football, the fan is left out. :cursing::crying: :crying: :cursing: The fans who have season tickets do not get tixx to the SB; yet, other sports, baseball, hockey, and basketball do get to go to the big games.

I can't complain, as I have been to a few in the past; but, being 18-0, I really wanted to see this one. Guess I will have to get a Snickers bar. Not going anywhere for a while?

Or not hard enough... hmy: :lol: :lol:

You just don't 'know' the right prople... :biggrin: :biggrin: :thumbup1:


Yea, I agree on the season tickets thing, but then again considering a sell-out season is usually 80% of the stadium being season ticket holders, if you add the 2 teams together that's too many people for the number of seats... I do know there is a pool of tickets for the season ticket holders of the winning teams to lottery out as they see fit (weighing in season ticket years, etc.). I believe it's 15,000-20,000 for both teams. And the other teams get a handful to lottery out as well. By the time it's all done, there's not a bunch left for the fans...

I feel lucky as I've had numerous opportunities to go too. In fact, I get them about 2-3 years out of 5.... And I horde them like the last piece of Halloween candy.... :glare: First one I ever went to was SuperBowl XIX. It was the perfect SB. I lived 8 miles from the SB Stadium (Stanford) and was an avid SF fan. To have the SB for your team held locally is just the ultimate fan-fest IMO! In fact, I believe it's the only SB where one of the participants was local to the SB location. At least I can't think of any others in recent history. Anyone?

You can live vicariously through me timefinder, I'm going to the game, my flight out is Wednesday cause I could get a thursday or friday flight, but I'm staying 30 miles from the stadium and have a rental car not bad for planning the trip just yesterday

Hey wantonbad...

here's a bottle of Morton's salt for you.. I think TF has an open wound you can rub it in.....

:scared: :scared: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :lol:

 

[Scott D]

BTW, enjoy the game.. :thumbup1:

Anyone else going?

Yeah, no kidding. That was just cold. I have tried all avenues for a ticket, and have come up dry each and every time.

And no, I am not willing to pay the ticket scalper/broker places online. That is just insane.

 

[wantonebad]

Look I'm not particularly rich or trying to be a spoiled sport, I just happen to have gone to high school with the VP of group sales for the Pats. I don't have a lot of high profile connections so the few I have I tend to brag about, my apologies!!!

Back in the 70´s some Air-Kings had a date.
But this was only for a short time.

Beautiful Hannes, both the watch and the picture...:001_tt1::001_tt1:

I agree! I do like the date models! :thumbup:

 

[Scott D]

Gorgeous! :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

Hey Hannes,
Is that a linen dial AK, or is my monitor playing tricks on me?

Hello All,

Does anyone have pictures of the folding clasp of the new Air King?
There was a thread with pictures of the new variants of Air King before the forum got upgraded(can't seem to find it!)

Not available new, no. But an example like Hannes's can be had....but it's a very vintage piece. I'm guessing that model is from the early 70's.
