This reminds me of 'copywatches' made in China. They were once obviously cheap knock-offs of Rolex watches but gradually approached a level of craft that could fool experts. Their prices rose accordingly.

The big brands often sell a lower quality mechanism to 3rd parties, who then make their own cases. So counterfeits buy them, make a fake case and sell them as high end watches.
