1)ok. Will copy paste the reply from Omega as soon as I have it.
I like things that are verified by many experienced people.
4)ok.I too am a technical person, but I will always value a product made with better or the best quality/price components than a product using middle of the range quality components and built in billions of numbers and seen everywhere.
Once again it depends of who made the review. The calibre 3000 was depicted by walt odets as not very good. The 2892-2 in its non modified form costs us$175 and eta 2824-2 us$50 who even if they are definitely far to be the same thing than a 100% inhouse movement qualitatively speaking.
IWC use an eta valjoux 7750 base for its iwc ingenieur calibre but which is very widely modified. It also uses a 7750 in the spitfire chrono and in the protuguese chrono too.
The onlyinhouse movements are IWC are the cal 5000 and the one in the florentine aristo jones.
5) a) Count yourself lucky because not all the people have as much as luck with the 33xx.
9)Well I mainly buy vintage watches with an inhouse movement, having a proven reliability and accuracy record and offering and original design. I am not buying modern watches because many are powered with the same movements and offer nothing special.Before buying I always ask what is the movement inside the watch, I prefer tritium dials in very good condition and unusual watchcases.
