They used to indeed and are working on having only completely in-house movements. I believe it's the same with the 5070 (a Lemania based movement) v.s. the 5170 (in-house movement), I'll need another confirmation or correction here though...
In the end, it just doesn't really matter to me, they all remain masterpieces!

That's what I thought, I do prefer it myself despite its busier dial (the size and possible case materials are much better to me). As for the 5070, it is a real classic indeed (although the 5170 would probably fit me better).
