I noticed the tool marks on the caseback, their is a wear pattern from a Nato strap too that is not in alignment with the lugs so it was opened at some point in time.. It pressure tested to 100m and it's running well so I have no reason to open it again just too look and see.
As well as it's running I would guess it was probably opened and timed at some point in time.
Was just telling in case it wasn't disclosed by the previous owner. Seen my share of "slaughtered" screws and scratches on movements serviced by amateurs having a watch boutique and claiming to be watch-makers.
100m tested is no big deal: Specially for a 1000m case if you didn't make a typo mistake.
If it was me, I would open it and check the movement for sleazy screwdriver moves. I just don't check watches who never been opened: I always check the serviced ones.
Specially if the case back has marks: Just my 2 cents...
