I think we have to wait for a response by someone from WATA to explain a bit further. 

If history is any indicator, a response should come any year now.
 
MrMark,  I nominate your response as post of the year

Please show the front of the box top Wata label. Most of the time now it seems when this happens they will remove the incorrect shrink and give it a "NS" no seal rating and still can give it a box rating just not a shrink grade. Could this have maybe been in a factory case found at the offices that WATA opened? If it’s originally from the offices or in a factory case, then shouldn’t it be “factory sealed variant”?

I think we have to wait for a response by someone from WATA to explain a bit further. One thing I would like to add is that the end result of this particular graded item probably causes more confusion rather than instilling confidence of its authenticity.

This is where the "Qualified" rating comes in handy via the VGA approach. If it looks questionable, then it should be:
- rejected
OR
- (if owner agrees) seal to be opened, and then graded as "Qualified"/"new contents" or "used CIB" where applicable.

Looking at the new pic of the box bottom, I would say it's near impossible if it's a factory error or if anyone outside the factory did a reseal. We really gonna do this again? At least Wata clearly marked it as a reseal. I’d like to have seen them not give it a seal grade but it’s still labeled a reseal. 

I dont understand why the OP just doesn’t ask them why it’s labeled that way. Seems the easiest way to figure it out. Clearly they have reason to believe it’s a factory reseal and not just a random person doing it.
