That being said, can you actually get a replacement ETA C15.111 movement? Is it interchangeable with a 2824? I know the C15.111 is based off the weird Sistem51 movement which you are unable to replace due to the movement not being available.
I generally like Tissot but would take a Seiko 5 with a 4R35 movement over this junk any day- more reliable and easier to replace/service if/when something goes wrong.
Let me apply your argument in a way that might help you to see this in a different kind of light and give you a little more peace in your vice.
The whole classic car thing doesn't do a very good job of standing up to any amount of rational scrutiny. All roads ultimately lead you to "there's a Honda or Toyota that does everything more accurately, more reliably, with more comfort for 50% to 99.9% less money. The only way this car is superior is in the metal body". That applies to all the way down to Mustang and Corvette, and all the way up to Ferrari and other similarly priced car brands. Classic cars are idiotic.
I've moved towards quartz because I still love watches, the look, the variety of styles you can get, but mechanical just does not make any rational sense as someone else described above. They're way fussier and require maintenance service over the years, the service costs can buy me 1 or 2 Tissots, or even more (~$1000-1200 for a Rolex service). As someone who isn't "money isn't even real to me" rich, $1200 does mean something to me, and I rly can't justify mechanical watches beyond buying "cheap" $100-300 ones intending to never service them and purely as disposable novelty trinkets essentially.
TLDR bored of mechanical watch hobby, stick to cheap quartzes
"Many of my classmates wore Rolex, etc"
I spent two times as much on upgrades on the watch. I paid $35 for it on sale.
