The simple answer is that you SHOULD take it to an authorized Omega retailer to verify its authenticity. This will put your mind at ease given that you bought the watch from total strangers. These guys are not authorized Omega retailers, they simply deal in second-hand watches. You probably didn't get a warranty card because the guy they bought it from bought it "gray market" so it never had one in the first place. Or, the warranty may have expired so the original owner discarded it. There's no way to tell for sure.
Either way, your watch has no factory warranty without an authorized dealer stamped and dated warranty card or a copy of the original receipt showing it was purchased from an authorized Omega retailer.
