·I am not really familiar with this particular reference, but I believe the crown on the one with a bracelet is a replacement crown. As far as I can tell it is a genuine Omega crown and meant for this case, but slightly different than the original crown. Crowns are often replaced to maintain water resistance. I personally wouldn't worry about it, but if you want you could try to track down a NOS crown.

··Purrrr-veyor of luxury cat box loungersThe simple answer is yes.
Have a look at Desmond’s essay on the C case, there are multiple crown types.

·I believe the bracelet'ed one has an original crown, but the leather one has a replaced crown, that might also be fake
Since these are 1970+ models, I don't think that old design crown is native to that watch

·Guys,
Tks for your feedback. I do believe the bracelet one has an original crown.
I just want to confirm if the leather one has a slight chance of a genuine but uncommon crown. It could be a fake or a genuine crown from another model too.
Buying vintage watches really requires patience n knowledge. Long way to go for me 😀
I have to make a decision to replace it or to just let it be.
