Imagine yourself having a vacation in the tropical paradise somewhere in Thailand. Your family is with you, you’re wearing your summer shirt with your designer eyeglasses and you’re wearing your genuine Rolex Day-Date watch. You’re happily browsing for some souvenirs on sale in some street near your hotel when out of the blue you feel something hard and pointy behind your back.

“Give me your wallet, your credit card and your Rolex.”
You look around for help but the hard and pointy thing at your back is very persuasive. You think to yourself, “Where are the police?” Your mind is in panic as the person behind you makes his point clearer by pressing harder.
“Now!” he says.
With reluctance, you hand your wallet and take off your Rolex. The person behind you disappears.
Things like this happen to most tourists in foreign countries. Specially tourists who wear attractive ornaments on their bodies. Now imagine how the situation would be if you wore a backup fake Rolex Day-Date watch. You’d give the watch, shrug your shoulders and go back to your hotel content and happy that you didn’t give away your real one.
Owning a replica watch could be advantageous in this light when you are in a foreign land but still want to keep in mind securing your personal belongings. You carry with you your most priced possession but in situations when you aren’t familiar with the territory you have a fall back. It’s practical, it’s cost efficient and the thieves surely won’t have the time to notice whether the watch is a genuine or not.
You’d be secure in your person, knowing that if your watch would be taken from you, you know that it would be the backup replica that you bought for a fraction of the cost.
