Help - service cost for bathyscaphe failing pressure test (air)

Bought a bathyscaphe at good price at auction but was just informed it failed the air pressure test. The watch wasn’t opened and doesn’t seem to have damage, and it is under the 2 year warranty for 3 more months. No service history.
I can decline the watch, accept it or ask the seller to discount to cover the repair on my side.
Worried about the repair costs and the range possible, any advice on what number i should give? What is likely range?

Normal wear or issue for a BP FF bathyscaphs?

Recently purchased this second hand and noticed under light at an angle that the watch hand looks like it either has accumulation of something on it or corrosion? Watch is ostensibly 2 years old.

(Note you can’t see this looking straight on I noticed part of it from angle then had it zoom with iPhone camera so far from obvious).
