Have serviced an Omega 2759-1 SC 2761 . Does it have the correct crown for this model. Some say clover crown and some say it's correct crown now . Other say it should be a crown like this.

Can you please help us. Me and the owner.

Clover would be correct.

Here's one I sold years ago.

Still not 100% sure . Your watch is a 2759-9 and the one i am working on is 2759-1 . That is what puzzles me. Your watch has numbers mine don't.

Dial furniture doesn’t matter, crowns were based on the case reference. Typically at least with these Seamasters the version/iteration of the case reference also doesn’t matter (ie -1 vs -9).

I actually think the correct crown is a slight variant to the clover crown. See mine below and this thread here: https://omegaforums.net/threads/thoughts-on-this-50s-seamaster.101576/

This would not be an easy crown to find, so I would go with the more common clover crown as @X350 XJR recommended, at least until I find the correct one.

What's the movement serial number? I wouldn't be so quick to claim the domed crown is wrong.

Serial number is 13937737 . Think the owner have an extract from the archives . Seen it on a Swedish forum. But it says nothing about the crown there i think .
Really nice Omega model this . Could see myself have one 😀

I have seen some early ones on goggle with the same domed crown . Saw one with same caseback number 2759-1 and a serial number starting 1404.... So is it wrong to leave as is and belive that it's the crown that was there from the start ?

There is a school of thought that says it might not be "correct" but it's part of the history of the watch.

I saw a couple identical to yours with the domed crown. I'd leave it.
