The Domino’s UK High Quality Replica Rolex Air-King With A Slice Of Pizza

A couple of weeks ago, I took the Amtrak from Chicago to Milwaukee to meet with a couple of watch dealers. While walking from the Amtrak station to the Milwaukee Public Market, I decided to grab a Domino’s pizza—not because I was craving it, although I can always go for a slice of pepperoni—but because I thought it would complement a certain vintage 1:1 replica Watches nicely. So, I walked across Milwaukee carrying a fresh, hot Domino’s pizza (get any two or more for $6.99!).

In the 1970s, Domino’s founder Tom Monaghan began awarding watches to top-performing franchisees of his popular pizza chain. In his boldly titled autobiography, “Pizza Tiger,” Monaghan recalls that the tradition started in 1977 after a franchisee noticed a Bulova watch with a Domino’s logo on his wrist and asked what it would take to receive a watch from Monaghan. Today, the Domino’s dial perfect fake Rolex is endearing because it’s something that would never happen in 2024.

“Achieve a $20,000 sales week,” Monaghan replied. Thus, the Domino’s Pizza Challenge was born. In the years that followed, Monaghan began giving out Seikos and eventually luxury replica Rolex watches to franchisees who met the sales target.

The first Domino’s best 1:1 replica Rolex UK was the Air-King ref. 5500, a reference that was produced from 1957 through the 1980s (and my initial love in vintage Rolex), featuring the pizza chain’s red-and-blue logo at six o’clock. Eventually, Domino’s raised the challenge to require four consecutive weeks of $25,000 in sales, but the challenge has remained since the 1970s. It’s tough but achievable, which is why you can typically find a few dozen Domino’s top quality fake Rolex watches on the market at any given time.

There are several relatively common corporate dial Rolex watches: Coca-Cola, Hallmark, Winn-Dixie, Pan Am, Anheuser-Busch, Chevrolet, and so on. However, the Domino’s cheap super clone Rolex has become popular in recent years, primarily due to the peculiarity of this luxurious watchmaker being associated with a brand that evokes cravings for greasy pizza best enjoyed while indulging in one of life’s other delights. I mean, who other than a certain troubled former Vice President would want an aaa quality replica Rolex with a Haliburton oil dial? But pizza? Everyone loves pizza.

The first Domino’s high quality fake Rolex Air-King ref. 5500 featured a “big logo” at six o’clock. In those early years, Domino’s also engraved the recipient’s initials along with “TSM” (for founder Thomas Steven Monaghan) on the caseback. Even the papers were made out to “Domino’s Pizza.” It’s a bonus to find a Domino’s dial in a case that still has its full caseback engraving to authenticate its provenance and originality. This personalized caseback engraving was later changed to an engraving of the Domino’s domino.

This additional proof of provenance is quite valuable because old-school dealers will tell you that, back in the day, they would swap out these Domino’s dials for standard silver dials and polish off the caseback engraving because no one wanted the logo of a low-quality pizza chain on their Swiss super clone Rolex. Over time, the market changed, and people began not only wanting these Domino’s dials but also willing to pay a premium for them. Dealers were scouring their drawers for those old pizza dials, and if they found one, they would place it in any best copy Rolex Air-King case they could find to create instant value.

Then, as with many things, it got really strange during the pandemic. Christie’s sold a few Domino’s dials for more than $20,000 in 2020 and 2021. Many more were sold privately. It wasn’t unusual to see a Domino’s top quality replica Rolex sell for over $15,000 – like here, here, or here.

In 1989, Rolex super clone for sale UK discontinued the 5500 for the Air-King ref. 14000. Like other models that transitioned from four-digit to five-digit references around this time, the 14000 is mostly the same as its predecessor, but with an updated movement and sapphire crystal.

During the initial production year of ref. 14000, the Domino’s Rolex Air-Kings fake online remained the same, with a similar big logo at six o’clock.

After that, there was a brief switch to a black logo – the same big logo as before, just in monochrome. These only appeared for a short period, making them much rarer. But let’s be honest: the colorful, cheesy Domino’s logo is what we really want.

Things have cooled down considerably since the days of easy money and $20,000 pizza dial high-end copy watches. The last few Domino’s best quality replica Rolex Air-Kings to sell publicly have fetched around $6,000 to $8,000. For a while, the price gap between a standard Air-King and a Domino’s dial was disproportionate. A standard silver ref. 5500 selling for about $3,000 while a Domino’s dial fetched $20,000 made no sense.

But the premium is starting to make sense again, if you’re into that sort of thing. It’s not exactly a two-for-$6.99-level deal, but it might satisfy a certain craving. Either way, the Domino’s Rolex super clone paypal UK is a quirky piece of history; in today’s world where brand and image are so meticulously controlled and Rolex doesn’t collaborate with anyone, let alone a pizza chain with questionable quality (to be clear: I love Domino’s and would eat it weekly if my cholesterol levels allowed), it’s also charming because of the bygone era it represents.
