I remember that years ago some Omega watches came with a tiny dot of paint or varnish bridging the gap between the caseback and the case, making it obvious if the watch had been opened. Allegedly, this seal could be used as grounds to deny warranty service if it had been broken.
A couple of my watches from that era had this tiny seal, but I don’t recall seeing it on more recent models.
So I’m curious: aside from obvious signs like tool marks or someone making a mess inside the movement…
How do service centers detect unauthorized opening during the warranty period?
