I read the section about the Red Seal, but...

I have another question. Do ALL Seamasters leave the factory with the red seal?

Will the red seal in fact wear-off during normal wear?

Reason I am asking is becasue I am buying a preowned SMP-Chrono, and I asked the guy I am buying from if the red "mark" is there. He is getting back to me this evening(Tues). He told me he thinks some of the Seamasters didn't have the seal from the factory. The watch is 2 years old and has all boxes, manuals, and an intact serial number.

What should I do if no red seal is there?

If someone could help me out fast, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Brent
