sometimes the chrono module has issues, probably not all that common though but it happens. the base movement is the same as the 15400. Its basically a 3120 with a chrono module.

I have had one fail... the watch worked fine though, just couldn't use the chronograph ( i think, its been a while). They fixed the chrono.

That shouldn’t be a concern at all. Buy the watch and enjoy. You very rarely hear of any issues. I’ve had and have both ROs and ROOs and have never had an issue

They are fine. If there is an issue, AP will fix it but it's not that common.

Issues can and will happen with any watch brand. APSC is one of the best in dealing with them. I've had issues with multiple APs but they have always been excellent in fixing them. Rolex on the other hand...not so great but they get the job done.
