I saw a picture recently of a Tudor Heritage Chrono that had a Submariner triplock crown installed and it looked awesome. Was wondering if the same could be done on a Black Bay (ETA version).

Love the watch, but not a big fan of the Black Bay crown.

Thoughts?

I've not seen anyone changing the BBB crown with a 7mm Rolex Sub crown, but I bet it would look great. You'll probably need to change the crown tube though.

For sure the tube has to change.

Do they use the same threads in the case? If so an easy and reversible mod...

Add some Tudor Mercedes hands and it would be something!

I have one arriving tomorrow. It may be worth sending off to ABC Watchwerks to have it done. I think it would look amazing.
