The Seiko Fieldmaster would be a great choice if you were going to be fighting some Sandinistas, but in Afghanistan back then, your likely foe was a Russian.For one particular CIA agent, he chose a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date in stainless steel.In fact, he chose the very watch you see to the left.Yes, this vintage replica Breitling A1334011-C6-13 Men's watch was worn by an American spy stationed in Afghanistan during the Russian occupation of 1980.

This Rolex was his wrist companion during his mission abroad for a few reasons; Rolex is known for being very accurate (this model is a Superlative Chronometer), durable (famous Oyster case), and above all else, a Rolex is as good as gold, no matter what country replica Breitling Windrider Chrono Cockpit you're in.If you get into a sticky situation and someone is demanding some your head or some liquid assets, you can slide this stainless steel beauty right of your wrist and hopefully escape to fight another day.What makes this watch really attractive to us, besides the very James Bond provenance, is the original black dial with baton markers and matching hands.
