"Curious you mentioned the COSC certificate. The one that was with my watch didn't match the
serial number on the watch. I went back to the store and it caused quite a stir. Apparently the boxes got mixed up and they were making plans to order me an entirely new watch. I didn't really see the need for that because I'm not concerned that the watch is a fake and from what I read on here about COSC being done before it's even put
in the watch etc...."
Thats an interesting situation. I hope you bought the watch from an Authorized Dealer. What you are referring to is the Chronometer Card that comes with the watch, and it should match the serial # of your watch. Seems to me that the dealer should have been able to get a new Card from Omega without having to order a whole new watch, but good for you if you get brand new watch.
The Chronometer card is not the same as the Chronometer Certificate, which is only obtainable directly from Omega upon request by you (not the dealer). Omega has to then order it from COSC, and they only keep them on file for 5 years or so. The chronometer certificate is the official document that verifies your watch meets cosc standards. Ill post pics of mine when I get a chance. Its a letter sized document with a bunch of movement mumbo jumbo on it that indicates the testing in various positions.
