c.3301 vs c.1164
In Response To: more about the poljot 3133 ()

Gentlemen:

I take it from you reply that you do not think highly of all the 77XXs. I am considering returning a new seamaster 2294.52.00 for another seamaster I have wanted for some time...the 2296.80.00. Both watches look similar however the movement in the 229452 is a c.3301 and the movement of the 229680 is the c.1154/64 (based on Valjoux 7750). Which watch has the better quality movement? Also, speaking as a collector which watch would you rather have? I think I might be asking the same question but I am very interested to hear your thoughts.
