Serienummer på klokke

Hei.
Ser at det er litt forskjellig praksis på å "skjule" serienummer på klokken på bilder.
Er det bare jeg som ikke vet hvorfor, eller er det bare jeg som tør spørre?
Er nok ikke bare deg nei. Jeg har ikke peil selv, men gjetter at det er for å forhindre at serienummeret skal bli brukt av produsenter av falske klokker på klokkene deres.
Bare en teori!
Også ved hacking eller lekasje i registrering, er det mulig for noen folk å tilkobler en identitet med en høyverdig klokke...
Ikke alle har sine klokker som sove i noen bankboks: Det er ganske upraktisk....Da er det bare å "besøke" den avslørt fyr.

Fra Ask Watch Experts Anything: Why Are Serial Numbers Blurred Or Blocked Out On Some Watches For Sale? | aBlogtoWatch
There are a few reasons that sellers will block out serial numbers on timepieces available for sale online. One simple reason for this is that the people who make fake watches are looking for serial numbers that they can use on replica watches they are making. If they have a real serial number then when people try to check it with the brand it may turn up as being real even though the serial number was taken from a real watch and later placed on a fake one.
Another reason sellers do this is to protect certain watch distributors or authorized dealers. Most watches sold online at a discount are not done so with the blessings of the brands. Many watches sold online aren't offered by a private owner, but rather a gray market dealer. These dealers mostly get their watches directly from authorized dealers or distributors. Often because they can't sell normally.
When brands sell their watches, they often keep careful records about what serial numbers are going where. If a brand sees a watch being sold online at a discount and they can determine what the serial number is, then the dealer they originally sold it to can get in trouble because they are likely breaching a contractual duty not to "off load" the watches into the gray market.
So in a nutshell, this practice of blurring out serial numbers is there to protect dealers who sell watches to discounters, and to protect against the numbers being used in fake watches.
