Bad assumption.
The majority of the price difference between the automatic and quartz versions are market pricing. That makes the automatics a little more exclusive. The actual cost of the movements and replacement parts like batteries are completely nominal in terms of the final street price of the watches.
Same way a Rolex costs twice what an Omega does--despite not being appreciably different in quality or manufacture. Or why a solid gold Omega costs $5,000 to 13,000 more than the identical steel one does--despite containing only $300-900 worth of gold.
