I checked both serial numbers first thing upon their return. I called Pentax customer service to let them know about the question and their preliminary response was the implication that the information might have been a result of using a high count memory card by the repair service. They made a note to follow up. Whatever the cause, I mentioned the repair service advised that regardless of the reason, they wouldn't be able to turn the counter back. Obviously, it won't matter unless I decide to sell it, but I let Pentax know I am displeased and anxious to learn the cause.
