Agreed, but this design is off, isn't it?

Yeah- that one looks wrong, but if he’s gonna get it serviced anyway, a correct crown isn’t that much of an expense

I am pretty sure this Omega Genève is 34mm and not 35 , but it has a large dial for ils size... i am pretty sure there is corosion on the back of the case . I like this model , I own one like this , but when it comes to manual wind, I much prefer , a 30 mm (30t2, 265, 266 ...) , the 600 family are more modern more clinical than the 30mm, but a but les Charming, and you can find bigger cases with the 30mm , ( 36, 37, 38mm) ...

As inspiration: I have this early Omega Geneve. Really fond of it, and when I tried it, I found out that it feels a lot larger than those approximately 34,2mm.
Quite a big difference to my 168.005 Constellation.

I like the early Geneves also. Here’s my 1958 reference 2981.

That's a nice one with the sector dial!

Yes, and all original other than the strap. As much as I like it, I’m selling it. Just picked up two Constellations and need to thin the herd a bit.
