: So as this is my first Omega, but certainly not
: the last, I'm wondering what to do and how
: to ensure I have all ducks in a row. I
: received three credit card sized artifacts
: labeled: 1) pictograms, 2) chronometer
: certificate and 3) an international warranty
: card.

Correct. You should have also received a white outer box, red leather inner box, red paperback instruction manual, and a yellowish/beige colored price "hang tag" (unless the dealer cut it off and threw it away). If any links were removed, you should have one pin and two small tubes for each link that was removed.

: The jewler mistakenly put yesterdays date on

: them. I understand I can order the COSC
: certification directly from Omega and will
: do that on Monday.

DO NOT order the COSC certificate until you have a properly filled out warranty card, which you'll need to get from the AD. You'll need to send Omega a digital picture of the properly filled out card to aftersales@omega.ch

: So my question, however, is this: is the Watch
: No supposed to be the same as the watches
: serial number on case back at 7 o'clock?
: They are not... In addition, I'm wondering
: what else I might do or request in order to
: be entirely official?

Yes, "Watch No" refers to the serial number. If it doesn't match the 8 digit number on the back of the watch, then the AD needs to get you the right cards. Here's what you should see on all 3 cards:

INTERNATIONAL WARRANTY
Ref: 22258000
Watch No: correct 8 digit serial number
Date
AD's name stamped or written in ink

PICTOGRAMS
Ref: 22258000
Calibre No: 1164

CHRONOMETER CERTIFICATE
Ref: 22258000
Watch No: correct 8 digit serial number

Demand, don't ask, for the proper cards. As an AD, they are required by Omega to provide you with the proper documentation for your watch. Other than the COSC certificate, there's nothing else you can order to keep with your watch. Once you have the COSC certificate and the proper cards, you'll have everything you should.
