I know (and expect) other members will chime in to report they haven't had any issues with their pieces. That's fine. But it's still concerning that there's a increasing number of people reporting their 3126 movements are failing pretty much out of the box. Yes, AP will fix it, but it should have been right out of the box, especially for the amounts of money we're talking about. At best it's indicative of poor quality control at the factory, or worse, some kind of design/reliability fault that may lead to very expensive repairs required outside of warranty.
I also had an issue with a ROC movement going bad not long after the warranty expired. Cost me a pretty penny to rectify. I won't lie, but that left a somewhat sour taste in my mouth.
