: Um..you mean the number engraved on the case
: back right under the Sea Horse (e.g.
: 58XXXXXX) is a movement number??? not a
: serial number? I mean a movement number on
: the outside as you said? I now got confused!

A TRUE watch serial number would be assigned to the completed watch as it finishes production. That is NOT what OMEGA does. OMEGA assigns a number to the movement when the movement is made. That number is then also engraved on the watch as its 'serial' number -- but is has little to do with the serial order the watches were produced.

So it is officially a movement number.
