If your watch was pressure tested after it was re-assembled (which it should have been since the caseback was removed), then your water tightness will not be an issue. If the work was done by Omega, they should have sent you a card with the results of the pressure test to prove that it passed. If the work was done by someone else and you are not sure if the watch was pressure tested, I would find out ASAP. If the watch was not pressure tested, it's possible that the caseback was not screwed back in tightly enough. Either way, you need to make absolutely sure your watch was pressure tested, and if it wasn't, you'll need to send it back.
Good luck,
John
