Why is the ETA2892 a minus?

Bros,
With that movement, some may argue that the watch price should be lower. More jewels should be a plus, although the price per jewel is less than 10 cents... :Laughing_on_floor: :Laughing_on_floor:

Is the issue with the ETA2892 or the DD Chrono module? Check this out:

I believe it's production year code.
