most issues are chronograph specific so generally there are not issues with a 15202 or 15400
secondly, more expensive to service is relative. Based on the cost of the watch the services costs are less than Rolex so i would say its a better value. AP service isnt 2X more expensive than Rolex but the watch is at least that much more. Proportionally its quite fair IMO.
Rolex vs AP is apples and oranges. One is a tool watch and the other isnt and you can't compare the two in that way. If you have Rolex expectations as to what a watch is, then stick to Rolex. My GMT or my 15400 are sufficiently suitable for my daily activities and I don't see any difference between the two with reliability, but im not doing extreme activities either.
