Ever seen a corporate logo (Domino’s) welded into a Rolex Oyster band?

Talked to a franchise owner/operator last night that had one. Pretty cool watch. It had a hole drilled through the watch link, and this logo bonded into it:





I’m guessing it negatively effects the value, but this guy busted his arse for and was proud to wear it. It’s a nice looking Oyster Perpetual otherwise.

Any other companies do this sort of thing?

Domino’s profits are at all time highs. He’s not concerned with the value dropping. Pretty cool IMO.

I've seen some with the logo on the dial. I'd much rather have it on the band like that. Honestly, they should just do the engraving on the caseback.

What did he have to do at Domino’s to earn it?

He’s a franchise owner, he actually makes the pizzas and on-site manages the business. Bust his arse and be a top earning franchise I suppose. He said it’s not so much a competition, it’s a threshold you have to meet for so many years.

Said he’d been in the business for ~30 years, owned his franchise almost 20.

I think they are given to the franchise by Domino's for reaching milestones.

Per this link, it was used as an incentive

When I managed a Blockbuster, I got a Blockbuster logo watch (not a Rolex; some cheap no-name watch) for selling the most DirecTV systems or some shite. The fricking watch stopped working after a month.

Michael Young could fix that if the person wanted it removed.

Quite the contrary if Rolex did it

There are a bunch of very collectible Rolex watches that have brands on them

It’s got a hole clean through the link. Looks like a tapered bracelet, which means you’d have to find an exact replacement link. Can’t just pull the logo off and call it done.

I'd bet MY can weld it up and make it look better than new. But honestly, as noted above, some of those special editions are worth more than normal ones.

Oh without question. They're killing it.

Regional Managers of the big 3 pizza companies make some serious money.
Those folks work a lot of hours and deal with a ton of shite besides making pizza, from armed robberies and customer complaints to employees overdosing on heroin in the bathroom.

I wonder if it was a reward to one of them for a sales goal something.
