I'm with these sentiments, and others of the same ilk. If the watch was rebodied by Omega you should enjoy the watch
as is. I don't think you say what clarification you've sought from the vendor about work carried out on the watch and the location of the original case (if indeed that was the original).
I think originality/provenance is a tricky thing and comes down to personal subjectivity when determining what is, or is not, acceptable. I recall back in the 1970's when people were "restoring" Type 35 Bugattis around the original dipstick (or similarly relatively minor component) and I know of a wonderful and lovingly restored Porsche rally car which has a mahoosive history. The fact that it has several replacement panels is not seen as a problem but the fact that the original suspension is elsewhere is perceived by some as being a problem. Personally I'd be content - initially at least - with the steering wheel.
Enjoy your watch and stop beating yourself up.
