The crarftsmanship and design of the real thing is undeniably better and costly. That being said the market price for most real thing watches has very little to do with the development costs and a lot to do with how much is spent on marketing and advertising. Thos F1 cars don't carry company badges for free nor do the drivers wrists suddenly spring watches at post race interviews because the watch is finely crafted and designed. That rolex clock seen by millions around the world at Wimbledon isn't there because Rolexes tell time well.
If they spent less on marketing they could sell the same quality watch for a lot less, say $3000 instead of $6000 but then the status symbol folks wouldn't want it just some engineering afficianados.
