I get you, and maybe i just need my view changed, but i have an image of Sellita not having the rigourous standards in place. Like its a copy, but a bad one.
Like it should be in a Pagani or Parnis.
ChainBreaker-
Watch brands only use Sellita when they can’t get ETA. That’s all you need to know.
Up to the consumer to decide where the value is in a watch. I do think two grand is pushing it a bit for anything with a Sellita in. That U50 is definitely on the pricey side.

I actually read somewhere that the sellita equivilant kept better time for what ever reason. Will see if I can find the article online tomorrow.

I'm not sure there's really much difference between Sellita and ETA, certainly in respect of movement design - the ETA movement patents expired so Sellita basically cloned them (think they used to work with ETA before then so knew the same suppliers etc as well). That Oris movement is Sellita's clone of the ETA 7750.
PS - Unitas PAMs are the way forward too (mine's one) - tried and tested movements and you get to swerve having to send it off to the famously rigorous and customer-friendly Panerai service centre if you don't want to.
