It is simply an off the shelf Rolex which many thousands have, the business card is meaningless really, besides it would get caught up in my jacket sleeve. Paper is not real durable.

I have (missed on the first look), so the face has some script and logo of the rulers. Not my cuppa. The last thing I want on my wrist when heading over a border crossing or through airport security is some Arabic script for an idiot guard to make my day include some latex. I go belt free, coins in my luggage, slide off shoes and all devices turned on... Yes Sir, No Sir...

Probably get a thousand lowballs, and 2 thousand e-mails saying "is this still available?" and no reply after.

If that's legitimate, kijiji is a horrible place to sell it.

Buddy responded to me and said it was valued at 15k.

I would not want this for something to wear but if I was a collector this thing is epic. Very rare piece for sure.

Sure it's rare but many companies around the world do the same thing. They have their logo on the face and hand them out to employee's. Doesn't look very cool wearing a Rolex with a Domino's logo on it.

Ummm...this isn't a company, it's from a king...lol

I am also pretty sure dominos doesn't hand out rolex's to employees :nut:

Just an interesting note...
On the face of the watch:
The seal of the king has the palm tree's base starting between the hilts of the swords (as in, they're both sitting on the same plane), while on the business card and the seal on the box, the base of the palm starts above the hilts...

You'd think that a seal like this would have some consistency, no?

There are tons of Saudi Rolex watches all over the place.

My mom worked at a jewellery shop in Winnipeg and saw two there.

Seems to be a pretty common gift.

They are fairly common. I used to have a GMT Master with the same logo. They were issued as gifts to people from the state......not necessarily issued to royalty.

That guy will never $15,000 for that watch. He will get the current market value of a datejust, plus or minus a few hundred depending on if the buyer cares about the logo.

The datejusts have never really been collectible vs the sports models (Sub, GMT etc). Even the sports models with these logo only command a slightly higher premium.

The kingdom is actually a company.

They do.

They give a Rolex with the dominos logo on the dial, (more recent ones have a Dominos logo screwed to the bracelet) to their top managers. They are easy to find on the used market.
