[997GT3]

I was in a tough spot when I was looking to buy my first generation AP Safari. They were already almost 10 years old and I would only buy a serviced model. Nonetheless, I ended up finding one from a dealer here on this forum with a general 10 year service done early ($3,000) from AP with 2 year warranty (new gaskets, oil, seals, rubberclad pushers, etc. no polish). I paid a premium but the peace of mind is priceless. I was the first to open the watch coming back from AP. I know a bunch of people with JLC based AP's that have had multiple chrono issues due to neglect or non-service. Hope my two cents is worth something!
