Slight oxidization in movement

Case and caseback are scratched and dented, signs of attrition.
Bracelet and buckle scratched.
A complete service is recommended.
Water Resistance: a watch’s water-resistance cannot be permanently guaranteed. It may notably be affected by the ageing of gaskets (rubber seals) or by an accidental shock to crown(not for your case). we recommend you have the Water Resistance of your timepiece checked once a year by an authorised Service Centre, preferably before the swimming activity.
The assessment confirms that the moisture ingress is from gasket deterioration. The watch is less than 4 years old. Is this even half way reasonable? The service is fully chargeable according to the PPSC. Any thoughts?

What a shame that is. I'm hoping they do manage to get this resolved faster. I had this happen before (to a MUCH cheaper watch, a Raymond Weil) but totally understand how paranoid it can make you after. Keep us posted
