I believe that part of the reason why the Tissot PRC 200 has been replicated to such a high quality is that it is possible to source ETA quartz chronograph movements inexpensively, which do not come in different levels of fit and finish or embellishments. Consequently, a high quality replica could be sold as the genuine article on eBay in exceptionally large quantities.

Given the low MSRP of the genuine watch, most people would not believe that such a high-quality replica exists. But of course, that's predicated on the assumption that the replica is being sold knowingly as a replica, as opposed to a discounted "genuine" watch. In the latter scenario, the profit margins are extraordinary, far exceeding the super replicas which we crave for, which are presumably sold in smaller quantities to replica geeks like us.
