·Did your watchmaker confirm that there is an authentic Omega movement inside and show you the engravings inside the case-back? The dial and caseback raise some concerns about authenticity. If nothing else, the dial is poorly repainted and in very bad shape, with globs of glue around the markers. And if the case is fake, it's also probably not truly 18k gold.
Can you return it?

My first question was if it was solid 18k gold and as he is also a goldsmith he did confirm this. The inside is Omega and because of the number inside he could tell it’s from 1962. Just for the record, I did not buy the watch from the watchmaker.

·I do see what appears to be a hallmark on the back of a lug, so hopefully you didn't pay much more than the value of the gold. If you could provide photos of the movement and inside of the case-back, it would be helpful, and we could either confirm your watchmaker's comments, or tell you more.

·Your watchmaker is taking about the movement’s serial number, which is authentic. But that case is definitely not Omega, that engraving on the outside is a clear tell tale sign of being aftermarket. Can you return it?

·There is a case-makers mark inside the caseback (I see a hammer head), but the photo is too blurry. I don't know what led your watchmaker to say that it's a US-market watch since I'm not seeing an import code on the balance cock. Although again, the photo is pretty bad.
