So these companies mostly set up offshore in countries where it is not illegal to sell them. They also often market them as "replica" watches which are in a grey area in many countries.
That's the answer I was looking for... I guessed these companies were all off shore.

And I guess Facebook doesn't check to see if there is anything illegal; They have so many ads flying through their system they can't check them all.
