That's interesting to know that not all Domino's Rolexes have "Domino's" on the warranty or caseback; I appreciate the info. And again good luck on your hunt :cheers:

Rob- I was going to post a picture of the complete package that came with the watch, but the system here asks for a link to post a picture. Huh??!!

Well said.

Wow! I didn't think this would be a thread I'd read on my first day on the forum.

So, I'm a Domino's franchisee in the UK and this thread has brought back a lot of memories.

We've been blessed to win over 120 Air Kings over the past 20 years and I've just posted in the welcome forum that my most sentimental watch is the Air King I won as a store manager.

The original story is something that we hold very close to our hearts in Domino's. For those that don't know:

The chain’s founder, Tom Monaghan, gave his highest-earning franchise owner the watch right off his wrist. In his 1986 autobiography, Pizza Tiger, Monaghan wrote, “I wore a Bulova with our Domino’s logo on its face. A franchisee asked what he had to do to get that watch from me, and I told him, ‘Turn in a twenty-thousand-dollar sales week.’ He did it.”

Since then, managers have tried to break a sales barrier record (for 4 consecutive weeks) to hit a different Rolex "level", with the reward being an Air King Domino's Rolex Watch.

Every single watch that our franchise has won has been given to the store managers and it's something we are very proud of.

I did feel like the ultimate king one day when I walked out of an awards ceremony in Vegas with 20 of them about a decade ago.

My Grandad wore my Air King from the day I won it, to the day he passed in 2015. It's something I'll always hold close to my heart.

This forum is great and thanks for being so welcoming

Wow - great story, especially since you gave the watches to the stores that made it happen.

Oh boy! This is a great write up. I remember reading about a few "recherché" Zephyr 1009 from the mid 60s. They bore the Domino's Pizza logo_very neat.
I wonder if the were sample watches or if they made it to domino's.
In the 60s thru the mid 80s many u.s. and foreign companies had their logos on Rolrx dials> I remember seeing a lot of gasoline related logos.

Thanks! Are you sure it was a Zephyr with a Domino's logo? I thought 1960's was before all that started.

True, there are definitely a lot of petroleum company dials! In this thread you can see my attempt to post pics of every known logo dial.

Also I just stumbled across this ladies' Domino's Rolex (176200) with the Domino's logo on the upper part of the bracelet:

I remember it well bevause it was the first time I had seen a Rolex watch with a logo. It may have been a "prototype" to be shown Domino's. Obviously the guys at Domino's liked it and over the yeas ordered many watches :cheers:

Apparently Rolex has ended their relationship with Domino's after 4 decades. Future Domino's award watches will be Omegas. Truly the end of an era!

These are so unique and a great collector's item. What a great collab

Was a great collab.

I'm glad this thread was bumped up.

It gives me a chance to say something about Domino's leadership starting this recognition program.

It motivated many people in the long-term by using the Rolex crown for achievement versus short-term cash bonuses (which of course are nice).

Anyway, sorry that current leadership has lost the vision by going to Omega. I like Omega but they are not Rolex as a motivator for high achievers.
