Even a copied ETA 2836-2 is over $100 for a new movement. Also, those costing close to $1000, those would contain a tourbillion movement.. the movement is why it costs so much. Even a Chinese tourbillion is hard to make due to the complexity. The customization to make it look like the the tourbillion from a certain brand makes it extra difficult. Also, replicas with working moon phases and other complications are hard to produce. Those fakes do exist as well but command a high premium for those interested.

Please provide one or more links or physical addresses to the sellers of high quality fakes that retail for $500 - $1K. I am very curious to see what they are offering.

All the best.
