The 3135 series is also constantly brought back under warranty. Worn auto axle, dry escapement, etc. Warranty issues will arise with any movement, it's par for the course due to the nature of a watch movement and all that is going on inside there.

I believe one of the main reasons had to do with increased power reserve. Even a brand like Rolex can't rest on their laurels and get away with watches in 2019 having a 40 hour power reserve.
