For most of us, having a precise replica watch on our wrist helps us get our daily tasks done on time. It’s the difference between missing a train, being late for a meeting or being late, and even earning a good or bad reputation. Yet the reliability and accuracy of our watches rarely mean the difference between life and death. 
That is sometimes the case for the men and women in the military. Military equipment needs to be tested more than any civilian equipment, for the simple reason that its applications often carry life-or-death responsibilities. Watches are just the same things. Military personnel must be able to rely upon their timepieces to coordinate maneuvers and execute their duties to the standards expected of them.
That is why many brands have made providing products to the military a priority. The need for highly reliable, accurate, durable, supremely legible watches has created a market niche for certain rough-and-ready quartz-powered brands such as Marathon or Traser, but while these watches would be expected to perform well in the field, they are not as suitable for the other side of military life that requires a more uniformed approach.
For men, at least, one brand that can offer both high-level performance in action as well as unrivaled performance is Rolex. But to suggest there is one fake Rolex above all others that would be suitable for every man in the armed forces would be ignoring how different the various environments in which the Air Force, Army, and Navy operate are. So for our military friends, I’ve created a rolex watch that they can use whether they’re in the air, on land, or at sea.
The use of rich racing green and bold yellow for the ‘Rolex’ name and logo gives this replica watch a feature that is entirely its own. In many aspects, this color scheme and the fact the colors themselves are so bright, gives this, of all Rolexes, the sportiest appearance. Add to that the double-digit minute markers and you have a speedometer-inspired dial that gives off the impression of break-neck velocity whichever way you look at it.
Shock horror! I picked a discontinued reference! “Why would he do that?” I hear you cry. Well, aside from the fact I think this is genuinely the amazing watch for military personnel on the ground, writing for Bob’s Watches means that recommending discontinued references presents no obstacle, as we have two available to buy pre-loved from the store. 
So, to me, this unusual color would look great with desert camouflage. A Rolex Explorer would have been an obvious choice, but a white dial is less susceptible to the heavy patination of black dials exposed to extreme UV rays, while the legibility at day and night make this the great watch for ground troops to strap on before and after duty.
Reference 116660 has to be one of the most remarkable looking watches on the planet. The famous “D-Blue” dial is a top-to-bottom fade from blue to black, evoking the disappearance of light from the world beneath the waves as you travel deeper and deeper into the darkness of the Mariana Trench.
The replica Rolex Sea-Dweller Deepsea has fearsome proportions on paper, but it wears much smaller than one would think thanks to the sympathetically designed lugs. With a diameter of 44mm and a thickness of 17.7mm, the Deepsea is unlikely to be missed, nor to meet a challenge it couldn’t put to bed.
The aforementioned ear shapes make it more suitable for formal wear than one might think because of its huge size. Even if it does stick out, it makes you notice that there are worse things in the world than being thought of as a person with perfect taste, even a hundred yards away!
