Keep in mind that there is no such thing as "waterproof" watch, there are ONLY water resistant watches. Water resistance also varies from watch to watch depending on its depth rating. Your watch may have been rated to 50 meters or less wich usually is more like sweat resistant or light splash resistance. Since this is a restore job, Omega simply tries to restore it as close as possible to its original condition. However I'm not sure it that includes its original state of water tighness.
Hope this helps.
