Flave 0 Posted June 5, 2018 I would like to install a Big Pilot Crown on a Mark XVII. I know it’s not a straight fit, but wondering if this is a mod that anyone has figured out, attempted, executed, failed miserably at, or has any idea about. Thanks in advance for any input!

GenTLe 1,490 Posted June 5, 2018 You mad bro? Seriously the BP crown is BIG. It will look terrible on a Mark one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flave 0 Posted June 5, 2018 Yes, but that is beside the question I know it will make a bold statement, but I actually like the combo a lot. If there is a similar diamond/onion crown that would be better suited, would love the input Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenTLe 1,490 Posted June 6, 2018 If both the watches are from the same factory they may have the same tube, and if so it is feasible. You should measure the screw down tube on both. Swapping the stem is then no difficult.But beware that the BP crown is thicker than the mark and will probably badly dig into your wrist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Found a TD that can source a smaller crown, like the one on the son version of the pilot father/son combo. Thanks for talking some sense into me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
