Just as there are forums to discuss cars and other such things, there are forums for replica watches.
People gather to talk about different replicas from different replica manufacturers, talk about the quality of the movements in the watches and how closely the watches resemble the real ones.
Some put genuine parts and movements on their replicas to improve the quality and make them indistinguishable from the real ones. These are enthusiasts who would spend hundreds of dollars to make their replicas look and run no different than the real deal. The cheap $100 fakes you find on street corners are frowned on and generally dismissed by these enthusiasts. Also, many people own the real deal and have a replica of the same watch as a beater for daily use. So there are replicas out there that are 95% of the original down to the same movements. Just because it isn't manufactured by Rolex or other brand name doesn't mean it's a cheap copy.
So yes, replicas can make for interesting conversations and there are people who follow replicas.
