LaPavel would you say the BP Version is close to gen? Or would you guys prefer to wait for the next batch?
I had one BP and bracelet was poor with sharp edges, clasp was too without gen click. Lumi on dial and hands was bad. BP looks better but it dont have gen feel like ARF reps.
Air king isnt everyday watch. it feels heavy...

Get the BP and order a JF bracelet in addition. That is the best version available.

A few month ago I got my JF and I‘m absolute happy with this watch. See my previous post for details. So I decided to buy a 2nd Airking for my wife and this time I ordered an Airking from BP . Both watches JF & BP are really excellent in my opinion...I do not know, which one is better... see attached pics and you know what I mean.
Cheers!

Hi all, hoping someone has info on the 'GMF' (Thanks Oris!) Rolex Air King 116900 that was listed on TSwatch fairly recently. Having read this thread I was leaning towards the BP due to the slight issues on the JF dial, but I was wondering if anyone has any insight/experience with the GMF.

https://www.ts-station.cn/mobile/products.php?Keyword=116900

Slighty more expensive however I was hoping there's a justifaction for this that would make it worthwhile over the others.

Thanks in advance.

Hey there! Anyone got the GMF already?

I really like the Air King and I think JF made a damn good replica - if it wouldn't have that dial...

BUT could it be, that JF updated the dial? I'm new to the Rep Game and don't know how often something like this happens.
At least stanleycarling 's JF which he sold to Kleinerzauberer seems to have a really well done dial...

See Kleinzauberer's pic: https://i.ibb.co/VjDKVWz/20190718-150520.jpg

What is the best available version of this Air-King watch? In the NWBIG list, appears the GM version. For some other people, however, the BP version seems to be recommended. However, in TDs like Puretime or Intime, only the Noob and JF versions are available. Which is the best option?

BP and GMF are partner factories. Their Air Kings are identical except for 316L vs 904L and GMF is only available with a 3131 clone movement. Both have a more accurate numeral three than Noob or JF, although that wasn't an important factor for me, lol.

Ryan from InTime, says that about JF Air-King:

The Best Version of Air-King BaselWorld 2016 by JF Famous Maker
  1. 1:1 same size and high-quality case replicated from a genuine sample.
  2. High-Quality Bracelet, Amazing Brush finished and very smooth like genuine. (The same factory who makes the AP Bracelet)
  3. High-Quality screws, Same size, and perfect shape as genuine.
  4. Asian Super Clone 3131 Automatic movement which is 100% same size as original, Correct direction (Clockwise) to adjust time & date.
  5. Correct crown position as genuine.
  6. The Enhance waterproof High-Quality Rubber ‘O’ Ring as genuine, Look at the case back images!
  7. Correct ‘Curved’shape of the case back, High-Quality polished & brush finished, JF Maker spent a long time to make the shape of the case back to be perfect. It is 1:1 same as genuine.
This Air-King by JF is the best version so far!

JF /ARF /Noob numeral 3 is too curvy on the right side. Instant tell if you know to look for it. But people haven't noticed my Double Nines so a flawed 3 should be fine, lol.

do you have 2 air king? HAHAHA. Including one with the infamous double 9 production error, I imagine this is a mod from you? It is well seen;).

Anyone else have the GM Factory for review? Curious if the band and clasp is any better than BP.

So I've been an owner of a Gen Airking since 2017. I was curious to see how it compares to the BP Rep. V2. I bought this from a member here.

Some pictures taken of both rep and gen taken today. The gen is on the right in all pictures.
Very impressed with the rep, it's solid like the gen. The dial is pretty good. Overall I have to conclude this is NWIG!
The Airking is a quirky watch and great for weekends.
Welcome any feedback....
