We test the connection between Rolex and the military on this Memorial Day weekend. Let’s find out why this Swiss brand has such strong relationship to the military, both at home and abroad.
As fans of the replica Rolex, many of us know about the watchmaker’s connections with military establishments all over the world. What’s more, there are also the Rolex GMT-Master watches commissioned by the UAE Ministry of Defense, the Rolex Air-King watches for the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Defense, and the Sea-Dweller watches commissioned by the Omani Sultan to gift to British Military SAS troops who had fought during the Dhofar rebellion.
However, apart from Rolex watches that were officially issued to (or gifted to) military personnel, there are many those who serve that choose to wear the replica Rolex watches—either on or off duty. As a matter fact, we see a large number of the fake Rolex watches that come through our doors that belong to current servicemen and servicewomen, in addition to veterans. As their everyday companions, these Rolex replica watches have traveled the world with their owners while on active duty. Please don’t forget, while many Rolex watches are extremely luxurious, there are the tough Rolex tool watches too.
The replica Rolex watches were approachable for sale at many US Military overseas exchanges up until the early 2000s. The watches were significantly much cheaper than those at official Rolex boutiques. These prices, together with no sales tax, permitted a lot of military personnel to purchase themselves a Rolex watch. Now there’s an amazing job perk! Unfortunately, however, this is no longer the case and Rolex fake watches aren’t currently available at Military exchanges.
It is common that Submariner and GMT-Master models are especially well-known with US military personnel. Both models were born as robust tool watches that serve a purpose. Unveiled in 1953, the Submariner is the fake Rolex’s iconic diver’s watch that became essential for scuba divers of the era. Two years after the Submariner, Rolex launched the GMT-Master in 1955, therefore, allowing Pan Am pilots to follow two time zones. Although the GMT-Master was originally conceived for commercial pilots, it quickly became desired in other circles as well—including military pilots.
Perhaps not immediately evident, but the Explorer is another replica Rolex model that’s prevalent in the military. But once you consider its subtle straightforward style, rugged stainless steel construction, legible dial, and bright lume, so it’s easy to understand why. The Explorer is a reliable and steadfast the fake Rolex watch that gets the job done.
