Any thoughts or opinions on what the future holds for value on ETA based watches???

The reason I ask is, do you feel they will be a worthy investment, or will the brand surrounding them still be the key?

I've noticed some steals on ETA based watches on Slop from Croton and a few from Android which can be had for less than $150. Will the future make the movements worth way more than that, hence...a viable investment?

Thoughts?
