Very true, but I'm not a watchmaker so who knows? I do know that it's possible to add a lot of unnecassary jewels to a movement to give the impression that it's a higher quality movement. I'm not saying that's what ETA has done, far from it in fact. I think it's possible that it's just a lower quality version of the 2824-1/-2 that's availible, but nobody used because the better ones were so cheap for so long.
You will see that at times with some Asian movements. Over kill on the jewels.
