Tudor In-house movement v ETA

[Swiss Mad!]

Just something that's been puzzling me for a while.

Can any one explain why the first generation Tudor Black Bay's with the 'smiley face' text & modified ETA movement are considered more desirable than the latest version that has the in house movement?

Surely under normal circumstances an in-house movement would be considered preferable to a modified ETA ?

Does this mean that the watch community generally concider the Tudor in-house to be some way inferior to the ETA or is it just a 'first generation' thing that makes them more desirable and therefore more expensive on the secondary market?

Thanks in advance...
