33x3 movement: reliable to buy?

Good evening gentlemen.
I own the SMPC (2594.52) and I want to add to my collection another seamaster chrono. Since I don't want to buy the same style watch (ACC), I am between Bond Chrono (2225.80) and POC (2210.51).

However, I found out on the net that the 33x3 movements (i.e. POC wears 3313) had some problems. Here are some links you may found useful:

My first aim was the POC but with all that complaints, I took 180 degrees turn and I am thinking of Bond chrono which uses 1164 movement, a movement which is tested for more than 10 years.

Furthermore, it is that AR-coating at the outside of the crystal of the PO. I think this is a con.

Whats your opinion? Should I proceed with POC?
Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks and have a good day.
