The movement is not poor at all; it's just not in-house. An in-house movement doesn't make a watch superior, as there are more expensive watches that use ETA movements. In this case, it's the venerable Selitta movement. In my collection I have in-house B01s, B20s ("Tudor-Breitling exchange program"), B17s (ETA 2824-2) and they're all fantastic. The B17s (whether Selitta or ETA) are durable, reliable and inexpensive to maintain. For a watch like this, I would have zero issue with a movement like this... in fact, it would be preferred over an in-house due to its durability and lower cost of service. It all boils down to what makes you smile, so don't be afraid to buy a Breitling with a non in-house movement. If you do, you'll miss out on a lot of fun!
