True, but much bigger at 48mm, so straying quite a lot from the topic at hand, which is about 43mm models.

Indeed, it was called the Aurora Blue limited Edition. B01 43mm ..../1000

If you are concerned about $800 over 20 years you probably shouldn't buy a higher end watch. Right??

I like the LE so it's good to hear it's in house.

I’d pick ETA all day long. Can be serviced by an independent watch maker and ETA parts are easier to come by. Breitling movements likely have to be worked on by their service centers, which you are at their mercy.

“In House” movements by Breitling are just an excuse to charge you more, create the illusion of exclusivity and was also born out of Swatch (ETA) strategically starving their competition of reliable movements a few years back.
