guys
i love vintage autavias, but a couple in particular that i like have the "misfortune" of having a valjoux 773x movement.
reason i say "misfortune" is that i've had spotty experiences w/ the 773x-based poljot 3133 movement, which soured me on the whole blood-line.
in my experience the poljot 3133 seems to have mushy pusher action (i like crisp, firm pusher effort is OK), and i've experienced unreliability in the switching mech (i prefer more reliability to less).
but the allure of the autavia is strong, so i want to find out if the 3133 and 773x are more different in use that i pre-supposed.
please post your experiences with your 773x-powered autavias!
