It is just another co-branded Rolex, like the Cartier or Tiffany Rolex watches, but obviously Domino's Pizza does not have the same ring to its name like Tiffany and Cartier do.

Co-branded Rolex watches saw their last last in the early 1990ies.

The Domino's AK's were just stamped with their logo and given as gifts to select associates. I don't know if I'd call it co-branding as they weren't really sold new in Domino's to my knowledge.

Think COMEX Sub, but far less rare and expensive.

To take the story a little further, I understand that they were given out to regional managers with the highest sales for that particular year.

They were the most basic of Rolex Air King models.

You see a few of them come up for sale on ebay every once in a while.

Are you sure they didn't have "Get the door, it's Domino's" engraved on the case back?

Wearing a pizza on your wrist would also give nasty grease stains on your shirt cuffs. Better leave it.
