My fourth Rep watch was the somewhat mixed review Air-King. This was my third “test” purchase from DHGate and was a very pleasant surprise. Right from its unboxing, my expectations were met, given the quality of the dial, heft of the watch and overall fit and finish of this watch. This has been a real bargain and a surprising favorite watch to wear of the handful that I own. I am (and others may not agree) unable to distinguish it from the Gen and I would have no issue wearing right into an AD and doing so confidently.
The only surprise I had with this watch is the overall size of the dial. After researching and looking at so many photos, I had convinced myself it would wear a little bigger and it still seems like a “small” watch, despite its 40mm sizing. This is likely a polarizing dial, but in my view, it’s innovative and modern, while being incredibly easy to read and fin to look at…The green seconds hand is a winner for me. As for the logo, I really like the color scheme and modern take on the Rolex brand. It’s a busy dial and one that definitely won’t work for everyone, but it suits my eye quite well.
After really being on the fence for this purchase, I pulled the trigger, looking for a durable watch that I could be active while wearing, playing golf, etc. I have played one round of golf with it and felt unbothered by it on my wrist. That said, I think I am appreciating the polished bezel more every day and probably won’t continue golfing with this, as I would like to maintain that polished look for as long as I can.
On to the ratings:
Fit and Finish: 9, I think only a Gen might push this higher
Legibility: 10, a perfect dial for me; love the variety of fonts, and polished Arabic numerals at 3-6-9
Comfort: 9, smooth clasp, great bracelet and sits properly once sized
Wearability: 9, I look forward to each day in the rotation and find it as close to perfect for me as any watch I own. Overall, this watch wears smaller than it should…could be too small for some
Value: 10, worth the risk, given the price and quality…am now thinking about the white dial version to have a couple of choices.
Overall: 9.4
