I did end up sending the SN, I didn't send a fake one just so I could avoid any complications along the way, worst case they lock the watch and i get my money back. The Team member told me the reason they asked for the SN is to simply verify with apple that the apple watch has not been activated which it has not. Hopefully apple do not lock the watch.

It's not often that Apple takes action under circumstances similar to yours. If It was Oculus, there'd certainly be cause for concern.

Please keep us updated.
