madonna Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Hi all. Thinking to build a "special" Frankenwatch of the Domino's Pizza Air-King Rolex, but would like some advice frist before buying the parts. Just wondered if you experts out there could say if these parts are genuine or fake. Or if the dial just is badly redone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 A Domino's Pizza Air King 5500. Uhhh... First question is... Why? For what it's worth, that Domino's Pizza logo is way too large. It should not extend into the center hole of the dial. Looks to me like this may have been an old dial with an added logo, though that coronet looks a bit sketchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madonna Posted December 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 OK. It's in the oven. (Found a coupe of other dials/watches on the net with same size on the logo, so chances are not TOO bad that it might be original.) So one Domino's Frankenwatch coming up in some weeks then, but hold the anchovies Only to wait for the delivery-boy now. For those who are thinking "WHY a DOMINO's Rolex???", it is only that I already have a swiss Daytona, Sub LV, WM's 1680, Yacht-master, 2 datejust ( one franken, one rep ) and just wanted something really DIFFERENT this time (Have also other brands, PAM 127+187, Breitling Bentley, IWC jones + Portugeese Laureus, PP24 + Chanel J12 for wife) And I blame all you (RWI/RWG/TRC) for this. Just 8 months ago I had not had a rep since I got a Rolex "something" in Thailand 20 years ago. ( It was not bad really, automatic and lasted 3+ years with no parts falling off ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Genuine large logo Domino's dials are different than the one pictured above. Legit large logos are still not that large; e.g. the logo should not extend into the center hole of the dial, and the sides of the logo do not sit as close to the 5:00 and 7:00 markers. Rather, the top of the logo should come just short of the hole, like this one on Dowling's site: http://www.ukwatches.com/images/domino.jpg Some other things to note: -T SWISS MADE T-, shape/height of the coronet, shape/size of the markers.
