    Pretty sure that dial is original. It may have been tampered with as it looks like the radium has been removed.

    Price is two to three times market.

    Don't believe the hype about the chronometer rating. Only some cal. 344's were rated. Similar to the cal. 354.

    That is not an extract in the ebay picture, its an omega website vintage database screenshot. Would that dial have had radium?

    Yes. In the hands and on the back end of the markers.
