Weren't the initial Sellita models carbon copies of ETA movements? Certainly AIUI they're interchangeable dimension-wise, so some makers use either in a model, depending on which movements they can get for a particular batch.

Yeah, this is true, but you'd think if they're only making 30 of 'em, they'd use the same movement.
I personally would want an ETA over a Sellita based on what I've read about their accuracy. But then perhaps I am just being fickle in thinking one is superior to the other.
Having Google'd it appears as though Steinhart do this, also.

Sellita are copies of ETA movements (ones that are out of patent/copyright), yes. I subscribe to the view that the ETAs are slightly better, eg a frequent criticism of the Sellitas is that their winding rotor bearing/mounting is inferior to the ETA and is more likely to give problems.

Yep. Like that. Intrigued as to how you can have a: 'Swiss ETA 2824-2/SW 200, élaboré Automatic Movement'
It's either an ETA, or it's not.
