·O OmeghuhNo, I believe I was ending at “very true, thanks”. But when someone asked for me to give them the numbers, I did ask a sincere question of what the benefit would be. Didn’t meant for it to be rude
Differing serial numbers

··Keeps his worms in a ball instead of a can.So it must have been swapped by a watchmaker with an Omega parts account? Or is it a fake movement? I did not know that Omega was that strict when it comes to service in cases like this. I live and I learn, back to Joma it is then.
it’s not fake, but there is no way to document how this happened. So no way to know if Omega will ever recognize it for warranty or service.
no reason to take a risk.

·You won't know the benefit until you know the answer that Al could generously provide for you. For example, if you learn that the movement serial comes back with totally different model, then it's a full-on frankenwatch.
But I think the consensus is that I should just return it because the movement is different. The chronograph test results are not revelant to that movement. Makes sense to me if omega says the serials should 100% match.
but I appreciate the offer of more info. But I don’t see what would make me keep it in the end

The movement swap may be purely innocent, but as @Dan S noted, it could be a cobbled up watch.
By having the serial numbers and their relative references from an accredited Omega watchmaker you would know if the movement is compatible with the case and if it's not, you'd have more ammunition to confront Jomashop with.
If I was in your situation I would have jumped on the offer.

·O Omeghuhjust wondering what the benefit is if I already contacted omega
You don`t know yet, but Archer is a very knowledgeable watchmaker that could help you in many ways. I understand that you are hesitant to give the serial numbers too someone you don`t know, but just do it.
Oh yea welcome to the OF if nobody had said it yet.

I hear you, but it’s free returns for 14 days so not sure what additional info joma needs to know. Unless they try to screw me over some how
