    Thank you!

    Yes, its made around 2002 or so and it is an 3133.
    Unfortunally the russian factory oil from this era was degrading and struck the movement.
    The watchmaker was telling me that he needs 2 hours of focused work to clean that up and the bill was like that.

    When i bought this watch it was rather affordable for a mechanic chrono.
    Today the prices of new russian chronos rise above the Swatch Autochrono pricetag.....

    indeed got a couple of 3133 ( a 70's pilot and a 90's bhmpa) want a 3017 the prices is still rising wish I had bought one a few years back they was going cheap but when they stop producing the 3017.

    the prices started to shoot up mean for a strela from the 70's / 80's it like anywhere from this is in fair con from like £400 to a grand plus , the 3133 are slowly climbing now if you can get a fair con for under a ton well done you , yes the price for the service seems a little high their a bloke in Leicester in England and a bloke in Russia that do great work for decent money but a lot of posting then emails to get it done but well worth it now

    Upcoming new model.

    Not much info yet. Looks like its about the same size and shape as a GA150 but designed like an awgm100 solar powered.

    Yes, saw that one, too.
    The positive display version is tempting!

    Happy to see some new not overblown basic ana-digis in the lineup!

    Hopefully they will be reasonably priced. I like the 1A and the B models.
