Perhaps, no evidence of where the markers went which is odd.
Beginning to think maybe the previous seller water damaged it and had it repaired/ warrantied, opting to have the "debris" of the markers removed without opting to address the issue of the dial.
Maybe that's how the warranty card went walking.
Interested to see how this one pans out.

Dropped the Hamilton off at the dealer today. They said expect a week for it to arrive and another week before they will get around to taking a look at it. For servicing/ repair they said expect six weeks. Does that sound about right? Swatch group.
I also noticed hours before I dropped it off that some of the markers were missing from around 3 and between 12 and 1. No evidence of the broken off remnants loose under the crystal. I shat it at first thinking that one of the methods I had tried to remove the moisture had dried out the paint/ laquer on the dial too, causing it to flake off. But no, I looked back at the eBay seller photos and there it was, hiding in plain sight. No mention of it in the description.
Requested an itemised estimate from Swatch and will take it from there.
This picture I took a couple of days after I got it shows the dial damage.
Not mad, just disappointed.
