Omega and Rolex are two entirely different companies, so there is absolutely no way that there is some "joint venture" going on between them. I'd go back to the store and make absolutely sure that what you are seeing is the EXACT same watch as the Omega but with the Rolex name on it. If so, ask to speak to a manager and get more details. What you are describing could not possibly be genuine. Rolex would never lend their name to an Omega product.
