No, a 2915 crown would have the naïad Mercedes sign and 26 teeth.

Do the naiad crown differ ? Seamaster vs Speedmaster? I understand both models used the Mercedes naiad. Are they universal in width/diameter?

Outwardly, they all look very similar. I believe the speedmaster crowns are a bit thicker, and the stem size for each of the masters is different.

@gemini4 has a sticky note somewhere with the tap sizes...

Edit:

Many available Flat Foot crowns need to be adjusted to fit a 321 movement as they might be a Railmaster (2914) or Seamaster300 (2913) crown. The pertinent stem sizes are

Speedmaster, 321 caliber, 1.0mm
Seamaster300 (2913), 501 caliber, 0.9mm
Railmaster (2914), caliber 284, 1.2mm

The stem sizes are:
2913 0.9mm, caliber 501
2915 1.0mm, caliber 321
2914 1.2mm, caliber 284

Additionally, most research (including MWO) and examples indicate that the 24 point, 6.7mm Flat Foot crown was the OEM crown on the 2915 Speedmaster.

The Naiad Mercedes type is more prevalent on the 2913 SM300 and the 2914 Railmaster.
As the Naiad was thought to be more water resistant it would have made little sense to install on a 2915 with leaky pushers.

What a great write up! Thank you my friend. In your opinion did the earlier 14755’s have the Mercedes naiad crown? Or the flat foot all the way?

I believe only the 2913s had Naiad crowns (and lollipops).
Possible perhaps on the 14755-1 and 2. Not really seen, imho, on the more common 14755-61.
