Interesting to note that the crown on my watch, Bill's watch, and that of the OP appear similar if not identical. Would this not suggest that all are original? Appreciate input from the experts.

Mine is also a Tiffany:

Gorgeous. The watches are almost identical save for the hour markers. Even the Tiffany reference seems the same. Thanks for sharing!

PS: in researching Tiffany dials, I learned that it’s never been terribly common for them to do, but was a lot more common in the era of these timepieces.

So it was as uncommon then as today?
well it was not exactly uncommon for a fairly long time... You also see Cartier and Turlier double signed pieces. Seeing a stainless steel double signed is really rare, and a cartier double signed in steel would be very very rare if one exists. I am pretty sure I have seen cold Tiffany signed speedmasters from the early 70's, and maybe some more dressy ones from the 80's.

My point was it is not as cut and dried as you made it out to be.

Happy New Year, everyone! I managed to get the case off the back of the watch. Here are some images. It’s indeed a 14311 with a 352 movement. Edit: I did find the OXG stamp that I’ve read often denoted 14311 models destined for the US market. The serial number is 12200078, which seems like it might be pretty early on for this model?

I just looked up the serial number online and the database says it was made in 1950 based on the 122000 designation.
