··I don't see any option in settings or profileI always wondered why one would need one, until I got watches with a decagonal crown!

·I recently purchased this gold cap 2852 from 1957 but unfortunately, it came with a clover crown.
Does anyone know where I might be able to find a 4219 thick decagonal crown? Tried searching Cousins UK and a few other sites with no luck. Help is much appreciated. Thank you!

I would ask around at small independent watchmakers. A lot of them keep spares. But it is still discussed whether some Connies left Bienne with a clover crown - see Desmond's blog where there is an entry about this issue.

·Congrats with your excellent find. Very rare dial in really good condition!

Thank you! I was worried that the dial might have been redone since I could not find many pieces that look similar on the internet. Glad I made the choice to snag it.
I read Desmond’s blog (link below) about the crowns used for 50s Connies but his conclusion was that decagonal crowns are correct. I am still a little confused.

·The correct service crown, if I may add. The period correct ones have the flat foot logo.

I don't know if they are correct but the seller seem to have good reviews at least

·He found a listing on Ebay and they actually cost way less than I thought 😀

That’s also a service item though? At best. With that slightly wonky Omega logo I’m not even sure tbh.

·Thank you all for your replies! As hejsam mentioned, I purchased the crown on ebay since the seller seemed reliable and the price was very reasonable. It may take up to a month to get to where I am (Japan) but I will update everyone with pictures once it arrives as there might be others who are searching for the same service crown. 😀
