If you have owned very many decorated ETA movements chances are at least a few of them were actually decorated by Selitta, that is what they specialized in until very recently.
The only reference I have for the Selitta is the few I have been invictamized by but I have also been inside of the ebay Gruens and the ETA movements in them aren't any better so I hardly think it's fair to say Selittas junker grade movements are worse than ETA's junker grade movements.
Selitta has been working with ETA for a long time and they are certainly familiar enough with the movements to manufacture them entirely at the same quality levels that ETA did.
I'm sure there will be some problems to work out as they do but don't make the mistake of dismissing them entirely or as a second rate manufacturer, it's just not true.
If anybody with a modern Oris or Breitling has major complaints about their Selitta powered watch that would make a more suitable discussion about the quality of Selitta's movements since Oris and Breitling have both been useing Selitta for a year or better as a movement sourse and they both have used Selitta for years to do some of thier "in house" mods too.
Hey, Crow...how have you been?
I think the main problem here is that several manufacturers, who shall remain nameless( Invicta, Bathy, etc. :P) have used the junker grade sellita in liue of a higher grade ETA and have been selling them off at the same premium. Additionally, they have been somewhat dishonest in their approach by stating that one would be getting an ETA or Sellita movement, knowing they would be shipping with Sellita only!
