Diving has been an essential sport and science since the early 20th century. There was the dive watch before the age of diving computers and advanced technical equipment. Dive replica watches serve the primary purpose of recording the time a diver spends underwater, but they’ve also found a place on the wrists of desk divers and sports fans alike.
Some important characteristics separate a dive replica watch from other sports watches. They must have at least 100 meters of water resistance—this is one of the primary requirements dictated by the International Organization for Standardization that regulates the guidelines for dive watches. Exclusively, these watches have luminous hands, markers, and sometimes even bezels for maximum visibility. Most models consist of a helium release valve to protect against damage from potential helium saturation. Some of the dive watches also have a unidirectional rotating bezel with distinct markings to highlight or differentiate the first fifteen minutes, which allows elapsed time to be tracked easily and precisely. 
The dive fake watch is now one of the most popular watch styles in the world because of its versatile, sporty appeal. Today, you can find them serving dive masters everywhere and even hiding quietly under the shirt cuffs of some of the world’s most outstanding national leaders.

4. Rolex Sea-Dweller
In the 1960’s fake Rolex developed a relationship with a company that specialized in deep diving operations and needed a watch that could withstand the conditions. The brand modified one of their existing Submariners, which set the blueprint for a new model: the Sea-Dweller.

We have to admit that the replica Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso is one of the original sports fake watches. The oft-quoted origin story about this iconic rectangle is that it was the dusty polo fields of colonial India that gave birth to the reversible replica watch, which could be easily flipped to protect the delicate dial during the hard and tumble of the chukka. 
That was way back in 1931, and in the subsequent decades, the perceptions of the Reverso have, much like its ingenious case, done an entire about-face. In 2017 the Reverso stands out as one of the default black-tie replica watches. Nowhere is that more apparent than with this Tribute Duoface, which looks completely stunning in pink gold. The case size is perfect- but by no means overwhelming – at 25.5mm wide by 42.9mm high.
The texture doesn’t end there, though: there’s a pleasant juxtaposition on the case itself. The non-polished sections, primarily in the architectural details of the main case body, are left seemingly raw, giving them a frosted finish. Then there’s the sunray engraving on the inside of the outer case, a detail you only see for a few seconds at a time, which makes the fact that JLC included it even more outstanding. The case back is brushed, and fairly text-heavy, though there’s still room there for a personal inscription.
The one thing that shines brighter than the gold on this cheap  watch is the clever and varied use of texture. Everywhere you look there’s another finish. The front dial is described by JLC as a slate grey, but I’d be much more inclined to refer to it as for silver stuff, with a rich eggshell texture. It looks perfect whatever you call it. The second dial is just as stunning, a velvety cloud de Paris guilloche, that displays a second time zone, thanks to the clever manually wound caliber 854A/2. The dial textures are highlighted by the polished applied numerals and simple dauphine hands, and, in the case of the second dial, the matte finish of the inset dials.  
While the aim at the perfect timepiece is far away from the rough-and-tumble Reversos of yore, there’s no mistaking the clarity line and shape that is a defining characteristic of the Reverso, and the combination of heritage style and precious metal in this Tribute Duoface makes for a potent combination.
