Running the traps this evening and notice brass showing through the nicks on this auction watch from "down south.

I don't think I've encountered one with such a case before.
No it is not. I don't think that is the original case, although the case back looks to be solid steel and could be a genuine Omega replacement. Tissot (Omega's sister company at that time) used chrome plated cases on many of their watches. Hope this helps. gatorcpa
