Inside caseback engraving

Greetings!

Question...
I misplaced the RSC service paper, been looking for it but to no avail
but I have pictures of the inside of the caseback, if you guys can see there is a very light engraving (some sort of code) between the lines that say SWITZERLAND and STAINLESS STEEL

Does this engraving mean (prove) that the watch had been serviced by the RSC?

Thank you!

not really. some independent watchmakers use a sharpie and some also do a light engraving with dates of services etc... but i don't recall rsc ever doing this to watches before. real proof of rsc movement service is the certificate with added 2yr warranty.

I would imagine that if one provided the "serial" # to the RSC they could pull up the service history......

... it should be that easy (like a car with vin# and matching ownership) but up here, they don't unless you're the owner matching the service receipt and service ticket # given with the estimate or by going through the AD that facilitated the service for you. it can be frustrating....

Yes it has been known to put a service mark on case back and a code on the bracelet.

There have been reports of markings the end-links or not seen parts of clasp, with say the watch head serial first few numbers. To make sure bracelet is match back to that particular watch head but its that some do and some dont.
