Oh yeah most ETA movements are workhorses and are great and easier to maintain than in house. But so much of watch collecting is perceived value as well and ETA movements just knock perceived value of a watch so much which is unfortunate.
Ultimately I should say that I don't get this watch it is purely because I don't love it. I really like it and the way it likes but it doesn't inspire me too much beyond that. Still think it is a fantastic piece and I am a big fan of IWC/Mark XVIII, but just not for me lol.
