Icon5 Tudor Heritage Chrono Winding Crown Swap?

before i venture to my ad, anyone here know what rolex part number is required for the rolex crown swap on a THC?

i've seen a couple images of the factory enamel logo tudor crown being replaced with a factory rolex coronet one but i'm not sure which crown to source as the thc appears to have a twin-lock type system (unsure however).

thanks in advance for responses.

got the info from the great seller of the one i saw. (there were a lot of google images to sort through!)

looks like any rolex submariner 16610 or 14060 crown can work.

i think this really completes the retro look with the mag!

image is courtesy of the original listing. (thanks!)

hi adam, yes! eventually. i'm going to ask my non-ad tech to do it.

funny enough, was actually on the fence on keeping the thc as i got an incoming chrono but i'm gonna do a catch and release on the incoming (here autavia) and keep the thc. its a watch i know i'd regret flipping and one vintage re-release is good enough to satisfy my chrono itch... and i always go back to rolex and tudor anyway.

Looks good to me! Will be interested to hear how this turns out. Let us know what parts you needed when you get it done.
