Daytona Cal. 4130 vs. 3135 (hand alignment)

Apart from the Parachron Bleu Hairspring and Chronograph mechanism, is the Cal. 4130 superior in design to other Rolex movements like the 3135?

The 4130 and 3135 all seem to have the same advanced features: balanced bridge, breguet overcoil, free-sprung balance etc.

What dismays me about my SD is that, after much effort to set it properly, the minute hand still tends to "wander," sometimes overshooting or lagging behind the markers when the second hand hits zero. Some have attributed this to "slack in the gears" or the "lack of refinement in the 3135 movement." Others say such misalignment is part and parcel of mechanical watches.

This has made me wary of acquiring another Rolex or mechanical watch.

Is the 4130 is superior to the 3135 in terms of precise hand alignment? Some Daytona owners claim that their minute/second hands are perfectly synchronised. Wondering if this is generally true, as I'm thinking to acquire one soon.

Thanks.
