I'd say that a seiko 5 is inhouse because the movement is of seiko design and made in a seiko factory, just not one in Japan. Not that it makes it more desirable, because it's still got a malaysian movement and overall inferior quality to a mainline seiko.
The 7s26 movement is perfectly fine and the ones in the mainline watches are just 7s26 derivatives.
I've never bitched about TAG heuer being a 'nothing brand', you're confusing me with archieluxury. what I have said is that their low end watches are basically swiss fossil.
You could make the argument that oris and tissot are inhouse because their movement manufacturer is from the same parent company. They're still different companies, though, and the movements aren't of their own design. they're movements that predated the swatch group, even.
Seiko doesn't even sell their good stuff outside of japan, and their lower end stuff is sold to different markets entirely. Kinetics and solars are basically all that's sold in the US, and seiko 5s are generally marketed to south america.
