I think this is possibly true for Omegas where the Serial Number has been removed, but not for the lower degree Gray Market watches which have the Serial Number intact. I asked Omega about this and here is the transcript of my communication with them.
QUESTION:
I received an Omega Seamaster Professional # 2531.80 for Christmas. It was not purchased from and Authorized dealer. I understand it is not
under factory warranty. Will I be able to have it serviced or repaired by an authorized service enter outside of the warranty at my expense?
Sincerely,
Keith Downing

Turns out that the watch I did get had the Serial Number removed. When I discovered this, I returned the watch for a full refund. I now have a fully authorized SMP America's Cup Limited Edition which I purchased at a 30% discount.
