just taking a quick glance on the bay today and noticed an orbiter emergency on there. my question is as i looked at som pics the serial number was all whited out in the warranty book. plus it was written over? can anyone explain? why this would be needed to be done.

Some sellers don't like to give potential fakers or replica makers access to legitimate serial numbers. However it is possible that a not so reputable seller would do the same, claiming that his reasons are as those of above.

If you are interested in the watch be sure that in one on one dealings with the seller that he discloses the numbers and that those numbers match.

It's easy enough to find serial numbers when needed. Unless it's a new release of course. Personal preference/paranoia is my guess

If I understand correctly, you are saying the card has actual white-out on it and has new writing on top of the white-out, right? Seems like the above comments are referring to the serial whited out via photoshop.

Sorry I mis-understood as well. I thought we were talking about photoshop and not actual physical whiteout.
I agree. I would run-run hard and fast and not look back. I can't think of a legitimate reason to do that other than to fake documentation for a questionable watch.
