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.
