I figured it was about time somebody coherently organized all the variants of the Domino's Air-King (and the other Domino's Rolexes as well). The year ranges are general estimates, not exact hard-stop timeframes. Please let me know if any of this info is wrong or incomplete! All photos from Bob's Watches unless otherwise noted.
1974: The first known Domino's Air-King appears. This 5500 is believed to be a one-off prototype, and went for about $20k at auction several years ago (Photo from bidsquare):
1975-1989: The 5500 Air-King was made for well over a decade with what I'll call the "Big Square" Domino's logo:
1990: 14000 model debuts, keeping the familiar "Big Square" briefly:
1991: 14000 model with a rare "Black Square" variation:
1992-1994: 14000 model with "Small Square" appears (photo by Awad Watches):
1995-1999: 14000 model now has a "Tilted Square" logo similar to prototype:
1995-1999: 14010 model, same as above but with engine-turned bezel option:
2000-2004: 14000m. Upgraded movement, no more lugholes, and Rolex began switchin to Luminova around this time. Other than that, this 14000m is visually pretty much the same as the 14000 before it:
They may have stopped offering the engine-turned bezel for a while, as I've never seen a 14010m with a Domino's dial.
2005-2006: No more Domino's dials! The Domino's logo has now moved to the first full link of the bracelet of the 14000m:
2005-2006: 14010m, same as above but with engine-turned bezel option (photo by Beckertime):
2007: 114200 model debuts. Domino's Air-Kings now have a silver 3-6-9 dial, and the Domino's logo still on the first full link of the bracelet:
2008-2011: 114200 with what I'll call a "simplified logo" with no words. Also note it has moved down to the 2nd full link:
2008-2011: It seems the Domino's 114200 was also offered with the full logo, now on the 2nd full link:
2012-2015: Domino's seems to have started giving out 116000 models for the "Domino's Challenge" instead of 114200 models:
2015+: Domino's Rolexes now have the newer style of silver dial:
Domino's logo dials also appeared on ladies' models 67194, 67180, and 76080:
All Domino's Rolexes should have an engraved caseback that looks like this:
If you have the paperwork, the purchaser should be "Domino's Pizza" as shown here (photo by exquisitewatches):
