We report the results of long-term time series photometry on RX J2133.7+5107 (also known as 1RXS J213344.1+510725) obtained at several observatories. Using data taken during 17 years, we determined the current value of the spin period of 570.811470570.811470 seconds with the formal accuracy of 0.0000060.000006 seconds and a spin-up of the white dwarf with a characteristic time of 1.483(1)×1051.483(1)\times10^5 years. This is even faster than that reported previously and, if confirmed, makes this object have one of the fastest spin-up timescales of all known intermediate polars. We derived an improved value of the superhump period of the system to be 0d.280130(1)0^d.280130(1). Superhump maxima timings are moving on the phase curve from season to season, showing non-monotonic changes, without a change in superhump period.
