OK, but how does this difer from the run of the mill ETA automatic movement that everyone is using, including Omega? You did know that the ETA mechanical movements that are built into Omegas are also the same ETA mechanical movements that are build into Swiss FAKE Rolex replicas, American Hamiltons, and practically every other "run of the mill" watchmaker's product aren't you? It's the same exact movement minus the cost of having it certified. So, how does this differ in any significant way from the "run of the mill" ETA quartz movement that goes into the Omega Quartz models.
