Here is my 2351.80 with white/lime green markers from the late 90s/early 00s. I can grab other ones in different light conditions. Believe the markers are tritium, was right around the time of the changing over to Superluminova.
Easiest way to tell is a lume shot. Tritium-green, Superluminova-blue.
For the apparent condition and the presence of box and papers, I would agree. There's a bit of a premium in those things.
The only question I would have is how well it is running and when it was last serviced. If it is running well but the service history is unknown, I would probably take it to a boutique and have a water resistance test done and budget the cost of a service in the next 5 years or so.
A bit of encouragement for @OmegaBorder :
That looks slam dunk SuperLuminova to me. Tritium goes beige and usually a mismatch develops with the hands. Does it glow at all in the dark? If so it isn’t tritium. Post 1998 are all SL. The glow for both was green, blue wasn’t used until the current 4th gen model AFAIK.

Quesyion- Is there corrosion on the hour hand? It doesn't look completely polished on one of those images.
It was specifically this image, and the hour hand:
I can't see the same effect in the other images in this could just be a reflection. If you have the watch in hand, you should be able to tell.
Omega replaces these polished handsets if it goes through them as a service and an independent watchmaker may not. That can sometimes result in little scratches.
Case looks good for sure! What are the first four of the serial?
Yeah, I think it was just a reflection.
First 4 of the serial are 8035. Does that tell you anything?
According to the papers it was bought on christmas 2002 in italy.
Looks great, I may be looking for one of these in the future also.
Can't believe you don't have one yet tbh!
The rest are too thick, main issue I see.
