Looking at the pics, it's actually quite clear that the serial number has been removed, you can see the filling and polishing on the 7:00 lug where the serial number used to be. Because of that, you can forget about Omega servicing the watch and replacing the hands, they probably wouldn't do so with the SN removed. I agree with everybody else in saying the exterior of the watch and dial are absolutely genuine, but remember, it's the movement that makes the watch.

With the funny hands, you're guaranteed the watch has been worked on before, and without a serial number, guaranteed it was not by an authorized service center. Because of that, you should take the watch to an Omega retailer or repair center, anywhere where they can open up the watch for you and verify that the movement is genuine. Otherwise, you've just got an authentic Omega's shell, and maybe not an actual Omega movement.
