Me, too, and is yours made to order, so to speak?
To answer the original question, a lot of people would love to buy a Rolex, but can’t afford one. So, they buy a similar looking watch, for a few hundred bucks. Who can blame them? As long as it doesn’t say Rolex on the dial, there is nothing wrong with buying and wearing an homage. Some folks here are offended by them. It’s a good way to see if you might like a real Rolex, of the very similar aesthetic. As someone else said, lots of famous brands have homages. Everybody and his brother makes a tank, a la Cartier.
