Fake Watches is the wrist-borne brain child of one Richard Marckino

[Scotland] | 19.05.2010 06:23

After receiving the watch I promptly moved it from the included strap as I'm not much for camo. I fitted a nice aged leather strap with some spring bars I had floating around in a parts bin. Later that week, one of those cheap springbars snapped and the Replica Watches was flung from my wrist face down onto a tile floor.

In the past few years, there has been a noticeable trend for watches to be ultra-rugged, apparently designed for tougher, more demanding people. Today we look at a different breed of IWC Watches from a company whose leadership is firmly rooted at "the edge".

Fake Watches is the wrist-borne brain child of one Richard Marckino who has an extensive history in the American military and special ops. Marcinko is the "Rogue Warrior" and has extended this brand into video games, books, knives, and now his own watch company. Rolex Watches make three models available with your choice of finish and strap. Today, we will be taking a look at their quartz chronograph: the Avenger Silver.

The Avenger is powered by a Japanese Quartz movement which handles timekeeping and chronograph duties. While the Avenger is not labelled with any water resistance, all Omega Watches that feature double gaskets on the crowns and pushers have been tested to 20ATM (660ft or 200m).

The Avenger is a large but very legible chronograph. It sits well on the wrist and the matte black dial is stealthy enough to keep this large watch from feeling flashy. Being a quartz movement, timekeeping is accurate. The chronograph is standard fare: the pushers unscrew to allow for stop and split on the top pusher, and reset on the lower pusher. In the couple of weeks I wore the D&G Watches, the chronograph worked without issue and the dial tones and layout make for easy reading.
