Omega circa 1946

Should I be worried?
As some of you know I recently purchased a pre-loved 2541.80 from the family that originally purchased it. It has the original warranty card with it, indicating the model number and watch number, and date of sale. Yesterday, while on the Omega company website, I read that the watch number is imprinted on the back. I am unable to locate such a number. Do I have to open the case back? My case back has the Seamaster logo in a circle, within a larger circle showing wave lines. No numbers are imprinted on the case back or case. How can I verify that this watch is authentic?

Considering a big move, and I'd like feedback.
I've already decided to sell my TT Rolex Datejust, and while I was considering replacing it with one on an oyster bracelet (I need the adjustability), or perhaps a GO Senator Sixties, today I had another thought. If I sold it AND my SS Daytona, I could likely afford a pre-owned 5296g. I tried this watch on last week, and was truly floored. It felt so right on my wrist, and it looked a perfect fit even with jeans & a sweater. Best part was it really seemed like me.I really like the Daytona a lot. However, I find that as a daily watch, I'm wearing my No Date Sub all the time, and while I cannot afford to build a big collection of all my wants, I would rather have a few that I love as opposed to a bunch that I like. I have never owned a Patek, and considering where I'm at in lifejust launching an Internet start-up with trickling cash flowit seems a bit crazy. But, perhaps not. In any event, I wanted to ask the more seasoned of you for your input.Thank you very much.Regards,How
