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.
