2011/12 : Maktime went bankrupt and the 3133 movement is never again being produced. This is the end of the russian watch industry at least for the famous mechanical watches. In 2012 all chronos still running with this solid movement are becoming much more expensive. The 3133 watches will only gain in value in the future (as they did in the past 10 years - form USD 100 to 500)
