·I looked up the ref the other day. Love the look of the watch. In the end, as long as you're happy with the purchase I wouldn't care about the rest.

··Oooo subtitles!That was never the policy. If the watch still has the serial number on the movement, and the one on the case has been removed, they will have zero issues servicing it.
What did/do they do if it is a quartz or compound movement without a movement serial and the lug or caseback serial is missing?

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerDid someone grind off a screw head ? At 3?
No, it's fine.
I'm also blind I see no serial removed.
The serial number has been removed from the lugs. You can't see the one on the movement in this photo, as it's on the barrel bridge and is being covered by the rotor when the photo was taken.
For the OP's benefit I would want to make sure the serial number is still on that bridge. Note that in later versions of the movement they moved the location to the balance cock, because that rarely needs replacing, where the barrel bridge can get damaged and require replacement. Replacing a serialized bridge is not more expensive, but takes a lot longer.

There are a few scenarios at play...these are all options requiring a paid service, so none of what I'm writing below is done under warranty.
If the watch never had a serial number on the movement, and the one on the case is missing, then if Omega can establish that the movement and case are original Omega products, they will service it. This would include some quartz watches, modular chronographs like the reduced, and some non-COSC watches like the Speedmaster date series with the ETA 7750 based that don't use serialized movements.
If the watch has serial number on both case and movement, and the one on the case has been removed, they will service the watch and copy the serial number back on the case.
If the watch had a serial number on case and movement, and both have been removed, there are 2 possible options:
If the watch is still in production, they will offer a replacement watch head at a discount. If that offer is accepted, Omega will not return the one missing the serial numbers, and it will be destroyed.
If the watch is no longer in production, it is returned unrepaired.

·Update.. Govberg is going to get number off inside. Write a receipt stating number and outside case has had polished serial. They are also going to give me an appraisal.

What's that going to achieve?
