Good points mate.
Prefer the 3133 myself. Would be better date free , for me anyway. It's been said many times that the date is the weakest link , the movement is solid , and very accurate. Very rare change the date on mine, Sometimes if a day or so , but not often.
The winding is amazing.. First time winding the Strela (re-issue) thought broken as no feel , and winding what seemed forever. Some Volmax are so frictionless can only compare to doing the half turn crown winding in free air. Nothing until close to full , amazing.
