Movement question for georges

Dear Georges: I remember reading in one of your posts that the 33XX coax movements are relatively delicate compared to some of the other movements. The movement on my 2293.50 is the 3301 column wheel movement, which if I understand correctly, is the base movement for the coax WITHOUT the coax escapement. Is the 3301 a modified ETA movement, or is it something else? Am I also correct in assuming that this movement is one of the more durable and robust movements relative to the coax??

Thanx in advance...

Sam
