I once too was in your situation

Since it was a "vintage" RO, it had to go back to it's birth place for a service.
Cost of service was about usd6000, from the papers i think 70% of the movement was replaced.
No WR warranty though, since it's vintage.
Repair took bout 8-9months.

Service at AP Boutique only

Picked up a second hand watch that had been serviced by a grey agent with no idea. My advice “don’t do it” On the bright side I will have a like new watch returned with a full 2 year warranty ...
I can never figure this out

why would someone buy an expensive and delicate piece and cheap-out on servicing it? I am on your side, take the hit for service now and enjoy your "like-new" watch.
Good on you for letting AP restore it correctly

My eyes cry seeing beautiful old APs listed for sale that clearly were polished outside of AP walls (so easy to tell). I only imagine the same guys trying to service a movement and I cringe.
