Isnt that a manufacturing issue that is exactly what a warranty is supposed to cover?

I believe the line of thinking is that, if you had your AP services within the 2 year warranty window and the gasket had a defect, shouldn't that be on AP for not catching the defect and therefore still covered? Or, said another way, shouldn't the 2 year warranty cover everything short of someone else tampering/opening the watch?
