When you buy a replica car it almost never performs like the original, although you could buy at one time a whole brand new aluminium AC Cobra built using all the original bucks and patterns as long as you had a genuine Vin number and paper work.

Yes, but there are some watches that pretty much never have accurate replicas. Tourbillon movements first come to mind... then maybe some perpetual calendar complications.
I have not done research on good replica movements but Id imagine that the best replicas probably go as far as having a Valjoux 7750 movement (not sure if they would even do that...) which is not close to plenty of company in-house movements.
