It was sent out from my AD, we opened and cut the plastic there and only thing on the receipt is "warranty service, movement adjusted and regulated" or something to that effect.
Generally speaking there is no orchestrated attempt to keep information from the customer, it’s simply down to reducing admin. Watchmakers have a lot of repairs to do. If every repair also included a technical report (even a short one) that adds up to a lot of lost bench time.

If you want details in future, specify that on the cover letter that goes with the watch. Most service centres will oblige such requests.
