How is my custom homage crown position?

You are right Mickey, but having the crown not centered kind of bothers me... I'm one of those guys like perfectly symmetrical things. So should I assume the answer is yes, the genuine Panerai have centered crown then?

That was the original CG design drawing used to file for a patent. It had however not much to do with the reality, even the watches made before and shortly after 1956 had a crown/CG design that's closer to the current and contemporary design.

That drawing is a good source, but really just a mock-up of the 'real' thing.

The crown on a pre-A to F-series sits just a slight bit higher than top of the CG,barely noticeable without detailed inspection. On the G-series onwards as well as pre-V models the top of the crown can appear even a little sunken or lower than the top of the CG, depending on an angle of view since the pre-V and G-series historic CG flares slightly out from the case up.

Basically, don't sweat these things as they're not worth sweating about, as I said in my post above - you're good to go, just plonk a nice CG on it and enjoy it!
