Give me a great piece with an ETA or Sellita (and derived) inside over a movement that is only marginally more accurate (but still not as accurate as a phone), harder to service and get parts for, and much more expensive to maintain.

Yes if you value a highly decorated, complicated, high horology thing i get it, but barring that i don't see how in-house helps me. If i need something fixed on my watch while in Brazil i don't want to have to mail it to europe and wait 8 weeks, pay $800 for something that could have been taken care of locally on the same day for $35.

Basically, if it doesn't say "Moser" or the like on it, i'm better off with off the shelf.
