Icon4 Original GMT Master

I am looking to replace the crown in my original GMT Master and was wondering if the crown from a Submariner is the same part? Also if anyone knows of where I may be able to source this it would be greatly appreciated.

The crowns are not the same. If you want to get the right crown and installed correctly see a competent watchmaker.

The GMT Master was made from 1953 until 1999 with a number of changes to the crown and tube.

For most of it's life, it did not share a crown with the Sub.
