Possible answers:
-Some folks just can't afford the real thing but genuinely like the look and they do it for themselves.
-Some just don't want to spend outrageous amounts of money for a watch when they can get one that pleases them for a fraction of the cost. They consider the cost a stupid waste of money. They feel that those who 'need' to have expensive things are trying to impress others and they have no need for validation from anyone except themselves. (go research Warren Buffet).
-Some are posers. I knew someone who 'had it all': multi-million dollar house in a place where a nice home was $2-300K, expensive cars, the latest fashions. It was all financed and their net equity was zero. They were impressive but just as fake as knockoff watches (maybe more so).
