Curious if it’s possible to comment on the quality of the movement. My main question is if it feels safe to operate the chronograph? Would be happy to service the movement and I don’t plan to use it like a fidget toy but would like to run it from time to time.
Considering what I have read regarding it not being recommended to use the chrono function on the gen, I would say that using the chrono's on this newly repped clone movement would be a game of russian roulette.

The easiest way is to reach out to your dealer and get him to replace it. They are working on a better bracelet.
For you said that so easy, trying to ship watch back to China is painful.
And what I've hear is the factory do not fix or switch new ceramic parts for you and you think AD will resolve this for you? Maybe they'll ask you get new one.

From surveying gen owners it seems like most of the issues were to do with the chronograph brake. AP released a silent fix for it at some point and the issue is relatively resolved. I guess we don’t know if the movement that was cloned had the fix implemented. Regardless if it’s the original then the issue can show up using the chronograph or not.

All standard disclaimers about small sample size apply. Possible there is a prevalent issue that none of the < 15 gen owners i talked to had encountered!

Well, if you are personally talking with 15 owners of the 26240 I'm wondering why you would be interested in the rep. Seems as though it would be an easy call out against you.

I'll not be pressing buttons intentionally when I have mine!

Sorry I don’t understand these are all collectors that I met through the internet. I don’t think I know 5 watch collectors IRL let alone 15 people with a single reference from AP. I’m worried that I have done something offensive (I am autistic). Sorry if I have done anything rude, improper, or untoward.

I wanted to share knowledge but I can see how I might have come across as a know it all or bragging.

Again sorry 😞

You're chill bro! If you have access to these AP chronos it would be a mighty fine comparison to compare rep vs gen, no need to apologize, read everything light hearted, it's the internet after all.

You must have gone for an IQ test and the results came back negative.
