I agree with all of this. THe only Tag I would be interested in is the 1887. It is their first in-house movement in a long time. I think the quality has degraded since the acquisition by Luis Vuitton. Personal opinion though. At least Omega is still a private brand and I *think* they make all of their own movements.
