Strange??? Mid 50s seamasters are no problem for Omega to repair or service. Had they got it you would have gotten information from them on the condition of the watch and how much it is going to cost to do a complete workover. They don't take watches apart and break lugs off. Tool marks and lint under the dial sometimes but not somethign like this. Id say you go down there and demand to know who in omega recieved it. If they give you a name and number you call deal directly with Omega. Something smells awfully fishy here. Now it is possible that a lug was broken in shipping if it was not packed properly. From what I understand If omega can't work on it they will simply send the watch back unserviced, whole.
Let us know what you find out.
