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.
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.
