Rolex Oyster Perpetual Air-King
I compare the regular Milgauss (116400) and not the one with green sapphire crystal (116400 GV).
Rolex Oyster Perpetual MILGAUSS (Ref. 116400)
The Rolex Milgauss (116400) is sold for 7050 Euro including 20 % VAT. The one with the green sapphire crystal the reference 116400 GV for 7500 Euro including 20 % VAT.
The new Rolex Air-King will be sold for only 5700 Euro including 20 % VAT.
From a technical point of view it is a Milgauss, only the dial makes the difference.
Now you may like the new Air-King or not (check the 33 so far posted comments in the article mentioned above), but 1350 Euro less for a Milgauss are a sustainable argument.
Let us together compare the two replica watches – the new Air-King and Milgauss
