Let me disagree with you. When the piguet 1150 and 1185, they never have known a single problem. When Rolex introduced the 4130 in 2000 and it has never known a single problem. It is more a problem of bad conception and manufacturing than something else.
Between an old Omega watch with an inhouse movement and a new one with an eta 2892-2 based calibre, what is my choice? The old one. Olders Omega movements has never known problems like resetting chrono problems on the 33xx,like frictions and overoiling problems like on the first 2500 coaxial calibre series. The movements aren't build by Omega now but by Eta. Omega was truely superior at manufacturing than Eta. See how extremely accurate and very durable are older Omega movements.Older etas like the 2824, the 2873, the very early eta 2892-2 are really cheap quality movements. Between a watch fitted with an Eta or a Piguet movement, I would go with the one fitted with the Piguet.
But that is me.
