: No problem at all. Many AD's leave this
: information blank in case the watch turns
: out to be defective shortly after purchase.
: By leaving the card blank, they can just
: take the watch back and give you a
: replacement. The old one goes back as
: defective and the AD gets full credit. Once
: the card is filled in, the AD has to pay for
: a new card if he agrees to take the watch
: back. So, my advice would be to keep the
: watch a few weeks to make sure it is running
: okay, and then if you want the COSC
: certificate (see below), fill in the info on
: the card yourself with a ball-point pen.
: This info is typically written in by hand
: from the AD, anyway.

: You received the chronometer certificate card
: with your watch, not the certificate itself.
: To get the certificate, take a scan or
: digital picture of your completed warranty
: card, attach the picture to an e-mail, and
: send the e-mail to aftersales@omega.ch
: with your name and shipping address. Tell
: them that you are requesting the COSC
: certificate for model number X and serial
: number X. They will usually send you the
: certificate from Switzerland within a few
: weeks.
