Any fans of "replica watches" here?

They're so cheap and they're sometimes copied so well. I just wonder about long-term reliability. Of course, the most popular replicas are Rolexes, but I've had my eye on an Audemars Piguet - a couple of hundred dollars, vs. tens of thousands of dollars. Also, if you get held up and assaulted, you can always say, "Please, sir! - don't kill me! Take my watch instead!", and the robber is not usually going to know you're wearing a fake (unless he's a watch expert!). The fakes seem to have all sorts of advantages to me, assuming that they continue to run after a couple of months! ;-)
Here's a YouTube video explaining the differences between a real and fake Patek Philippe:
