Omega "in house" movements?

Given Omega's past and present West Virginia family tree-like relationships with Lemania and ETA, some consider the 861 and 1120 calibers to be "in house" movements. I'm interested in opinions on:

- Is this a legitimate claim?

- Does a movement's "in-house" status really mean anything in an era when even the really high-dollar brands use modified industry movements extensively?

- Are "in-house" considerations a factor in anyone's appreciation of the Omega brand?

thanks,

Jeff
