The Air-King 126900: Modernization of a Rolex Classic

November 4, 2025 by Matthew Catellier Leave a Comment

The Air-King is hands down, one of my favorite watches from Rolex. I’ve owned the ref. 114200 since around 2017, which I bought while visiting Milan in my late 20s. The Air-King has always been a sort of black sheep in the Rolex lineup. It’s not a purely classic Oyster Perpetual, and to me, it’s […]

Hands On: Rolex Oyster Perpetual 124300 Stella Green

April 3, 2024 by Matthew Catellier Leave a Comment

I had quite the wild ride last week, mainly due to receiving the phone call for the Oyster Perpetual Ref. 124300 with the “Stella” green dial in 41mm. I was not really expecting this, and the watch was not on my radar at all, as I already own an older air-king that to me is […]

We haven’t delved too much into the world of vintage watches on the WRB YouTube channel, and while this Rolex GMT Master II ref. 16710 isn’t exactly a very old vintage – I thought it would be an interesting piece to look at. The second I picked it up I had instant comparisons to the […]
