Are all Trip/Twinlock crowns identical?

Interchangeable? eg; YG DD crown/YG GMTII twinlock crowns or Sub/Daytona triplock crowns? Just wondering.

No - different sizes of twinlock by vintage - some had small crowns some had larger ones later on but were still twinlock.

On the later models the Milgauss twinlock has a bigger crown and there is also the DSSD triplock. I am not sure whether all the internal seals are the same.

I would think that had something to do with them being rated to only 50mt/165ft.

Perhaps. I think I read somewhere though that the gmt crown was smaller in order to fit under the bezel.
