To compare the Sellita SW200 with the ETA2824 is a bit more complicated than you guys realize. Just like the ETA2824, the Sellita SW200 comes in many different grades. I recently spoke to Thomas Ickler, owner of Limes Watch Company. Several of Limes models come with either the next to the highest grade of ETA2824, or one of the highest grades of SW200; unfortunately, the customer can not even pick the movement. It all depends on the availability of the quickly becoming more scarce ETA2824.
Further more, Mr. Ickler told me that even the ETA2824 movements they use when available, are assembled by Sellita in a small plant in Germany using ETA supplied parts. This is to help keep up with demand. In Mr. Ickler's opinion, these Sellita made ETA2824's may even be of better quality than those made by ETA, simply because the Sellita plant in Germany is smaller and operates on a smaller scale. In his recent experience, he has not observed any difference in accuracy or reliability between the ETA2824 or SW200 of the high grades he is using.
