Based on their rules, I'm not surprised they banned you. Nevertheless, what you say does make a certain amount of sense. I've been reading a lot on the replica watch forums. Some of the guys that are into replicas know more about watches than most of the people that buy the "real thing".
SO, Invicta, and others are look-alikes, or knock-offs, not replicas. I personally have never gotten a replica, but I do own a few knock-offs.
Your argument reminds me of an old Chrysler LeBaron Convertible ad on TV. The car and a Mercedes Benz 500 SL are show driving down the Pacific highway in California. Both cars look fantastic, and quite similar. They pull up to a scenic look-out. The Chrysler owner opens the trunk of his car which is full of money. The voice over says.
"The new Chrysler LeBaron Convertible. Think of it as a Mercedes Benz with $50,000 in the trunk."
Watch collecting is a disastrous trap and I'm stuck. At least I always know what time it is.
