New Airking from Domino's

I'm a Domino's Franchise. Been with the company for 15 years. We finally won the rolex sales challenge at one of my stores, TWICE! The first watch goes to my GM, the second one is MINE.
Both watches came UPS overnight. Took forever for them to ship. Corporate said they got them from Switzerland. Warranty card is dated 03/08/11 Schlanderer & Sons



I may order an 18mm NATO, also thinking about changing the dial to blue down the road.

I think this will make a good everyday SS watch. We'll see how it competes with the blue bond on a NATO I usually wear to work.







Domino's Logo on Oyster, Only cool for me, won't be flipping this one.



A little lume...



different sandblast finish on clasp hardware than my GMT IIc. No easy-
link :(

The rest of the family.....

Wow nice congratulations on a job well done.

Is the band Rolex? I noticed the Domino's logo is it attached to the band?

Very nice..

I like the way that they place a logo on the band instead of painting the dial......

X2. Commemorates the accomplishment without commercializing it.

I really like the sparkling clean look of the dial, as shown in your second photo. What's the "60" at 6 o'clock on the bezel of that photo, some sort of reflection?

Yes the band is rolex. The logo is riveted to one of the permanent links, presumably by the AD. It also has the logo engraved on the case back. Doesn't bother me since I make most my money selling pizzas to college kids.

The # on the bezel is the plastic cover. I haven't taken all that off.

Here you go engraving and rivets.

Congrats on your business accomplishments and the bonus for you and your boss of new rolexes! I wish they gave rolexes where I work for a job well done..
(BTW, I was at a watch shop one time and a guy was getting a planet ocean as an an anniversary present - i.e. 5 year employee or something like that...man, I was jealous. I got a plastic clock one time at one company).

Congrats on the reward for your hard work. Too bad more companies dont do this. I saw the3 bracelet, but love the fact there is no Domino's on the dial. Cool watch, I hope you enjoy it.
