Enhanced 3126 Movement At Service!

I sent my elephant in for service and the service rep called me saying that he can put in the new enhanced 3126 movement for the same cost as the service (actually less).

Apparently the new movement is markedly more accurate and reliable.

Any downside in swapping the movement? They're giving new papers with new movement.

Sounds great and the company really impressed me.

That's awesome. I'm always impressed with APs service.

This is my first time dealing with their service arm and the entire process has been painless thus far!

Hope that solves the problem. My 44mm titanium roo needed service twice in a year, same as my other ones. Recently sold it. Miss having it but was sick of sending them back. Their service though all I can say is wow, topnotch!!!!

They're giving new papers with the new movement, so I don't think it'll change much. Also it's not like we're going from vintage to non vintage.

Hope this information helps, future/current collectors.

Had a 26470st, bought in 2020.
Never dropped the watch or anything. Recently crown feels tight to wind, power reserve issues and sudden stoppage.

Service Centre offered enhanced 3126 movement swap.
