AP ROO bed experience

Hi guys,
I am new on this forum and in the same time new fun of Rolex watch.
For a long time I was a very big fun of AP ROO but I want to tell my story maybe help new AP ROO funs!! I want to tell only last 2 bed story with AP ROO because is very much to tell....
In June I buy from a AD an AP ROO Jarno Trulli. I like very much carbon and cermet combo. The watch are pre-owned so I send the watch to RO&RO Wien who are AP authorized service to make a complete overhaul. After 3 week the watch come back with complete overhaul due. I pay 1460€.
But I see the watch have+ 20-30 sec/day so I send it back to adjust the watch!
After another 3 week they send me back the watch and tell the watch are ok but the watch work same +30 sec/day! And again I send it back to adjust!
In the mean time I buy it a new AP ROO 42 mm rose gold in Friday 19.08.2016 from a different AD. I make my self a gift for my birdsday. In 22.08.2016 I go back because the watch work +40 sec/day!!!
AD tell me he can change my watch because AP have a internal rules and only if the watch are 3 time defects in guarantee they change the watch but tell me he send the watch on AP service. After 3-4 days call me and tell me the chrono module are defects and need to be change and will be replace with one new.Ok!
In September watch come back and work good +2-3 sec/day only 2 week and then stop! The movement stop and don't work anymore!
So I go again to AD and he tell me send the watch in service again!
I am very ungry and I write an email to AP and received an email from a lady who are AP client care manager on Swiss and she assure me all will be ok and give me 5 years guarantee because of my bed experience!
She tell me chrono module are defects again and will be replaced!
In this time my AP ROO Jarno come back and work same bed!!!!
This time I send Jarno to CESAP (European center AP service) on France!
They give me an email and tell me the complete overhaul are due to a service who are not AP authorized service! I ask how it's possible because RO&RO Wien are authorized service AP. I send the invoice for complete overhaul and they tell me they will do the complete overhaul and price are including in guarantee who are give me from RO&RO Wien!
After 1 mounth the watch come back and work ok only when start chrono have + 20-30 sec/day.
I decide to sell it and to buy me a first Rolex a Rolex Submariner!!!
And I buy it and how work is superlative. In one mounth have -3 sec!
Same problems I have and with AP ROO 42 mm rose gold when come back from service with a soecial letter for extended guarantee 5 years!
I decide to sell it and I buy about 1 week ago a Rolex Sky-Dweller rose gold bracelet.
The watch is a beauty beast and work + 1 sec/ day!
I don't know if I have bed luck with AP but I want to expose my story to be a lesson for new buyers AP ROO.
Recently I speak with a watchmaker who now work in Ulysse Nardin manufacture but in the past work to AP manufacture and he show me where is problems!
AP have many chrono module on stock who stay to much time and the oil loose property.
When a watch come to service to make a complete overhaul the watcmaker don't have time to clean every part of chrono module and oiled it's more simply to replaced with a new one!!! But if the new one stay 1-2 years on stock are not ok!
So after this bed and also said experience for me I buy me two Rolex!
I am very happy with it and till now I am not dissapointed from them!
But please can someoane to explaine watt's happened with AP?
I have friend who have same problems with AP ROO!
IMHO on that level of price it's can be possible all these thing!
Please let me know if someoane have same experience?
