Bought a X serial 16600 Sea Dweller from reputable dealer in Michigan.. But the crown has some damage not worried about that but am worried about how it's damaged..

Please see pics below and tell me your thoughts.

That is the back end of the second hand obstructing it.

Have it pressure checked.
Crown looks banged up, may want to replace crown and tube to be in the safe side.

My own SD is at RSC getting a service.

It appears that the crown was forcibly turned down/loosened using pliers or some other tool. The SD crowns can be locked down pretty tight, by hand. Perhaps, the previous owner tightened it too tight and needed a tool to loosen it. Just speculation and inference, of course.

Was it disclosed?

Tube and crown to be safe. Pressure test after.
Keyless issues? I guess not or you would have mentioned it.
