··Hoarder Of Speed et aliaThis 2914-4 auction is ending tomorrow.

Dial is rather peculiar in that there is a single T added to the right of SWISS MADE. As this Railmaster is from the late 50's, it's lume should be radium. The dial should not have a T. A closer look at the lume plots appears to reveal that the radium has be gouged out and removed from the recessed lume plots.
I'm guessing that this was done at an early Omega service as there weren't any suitable non radium service dials for the 1mm thick dials that antimagnetic 2914 Railmasters have. I messaged the owner, in Hong Kong btw, about the dial and he promised to test the dial with a Geiger Counter. He never got back to me.
Opinions.
