Royal Oak With Replaced Movement

Hi everyone. I'd love to get your thoughts on a decision I'm in the process of making. I've been in the market for the older generation (39mm) Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar. After some time searching, I found an example that's a full set in the right configuration I was looking for. The only item to note is that the movement was replaced by AP in its history. This replacement movement is of the same caliber and looks identical, other than having a different movement number. All of this is documented by AP, but I'd obviously prefer everything original if it were up to me. I'm curious if I'll regret this down the road, or if this is just part of the game, as many of these older movements were finicky and it's understandable they were replaced. I worry that down the road if I ever decide to sell the watch, it may be more difficult knowing this. Thanks!
