·I would like to hear crown opinions from the connie folks. Specifically, I have a -0 reference 2852 that has a seamster crown. You can view it in this thread:

I heard somewhere that a few of the early 2852s came with this crown. I have reached out to Omega and not an answer. I see that few of the other watches in this thread have the same crown:

Not it seems to me that there are two possibilities:
Since the source doesn’t seem to know the answer, I going to risk adding fuel to this rumor and ask viewpoints here. So what do you all think… oringal crown, or not? aAnd better yet, if a replacement, would you correct with a pie pan crown?

Not it seems to me that there are two possibilities:
- Urban legend is true, and these are original crowns.
- Watches that got sent in for service and the classic pie pan shaped crown got replaced.

··I don't see any option in settings or profileBack from the watchmaker! Thorough service, new original shallow decagonal crown and a non-riveted seconds hand manufactured from a cal. 10XX hand, shortened to correct length. My independent watchmaker can no longer order original crystals 🤬 but a polish goes a long way.
I have seen this case/dial variation delivered with grey folded straps. The ostrich I found has the exact same color.

Cheers, Al
The Ω replacement second hands have a rivet-like protrusion at the center, which the originals miss.
My redial 2852 with golden replacement hands and my 2852 with original rose gold furniture maybe show it more clearly:

I believe that clover crowns was factory delivered on Seamasters only. Since Seamaster sales probably exceeded constellation sales, watchmakers had a larger inventory of clover crowns, so when Connie owners lost their decagonal crowns, they were offered clover crowns and shrugged.
