Possible ETA 7750 Swap in New Tudor Pelagos FXD Chrono?

Looking to see if an ETA 7750 swap is possible in this recently released Tudor FXD so I can actually use the chrono feature? I assume hands at least need to be swapped, but figured I should ask here.
Thanks in advance!

Trusttime link to watch : https://www.intime06.co/tudor/11119...black-ceramic-bezel-on-nylon-strap-a7750.html

ETA 7750 from the bay (as an example): https://www.ebay.com/itm/3757169330...NdUfEpqJIkf3cBKNamyuYexQ==|tkp:Bk9SR7DD2MTYZA

Apologies if questions like this have already been asked/answered.

Not a direct swap as that watch uses a modified 7750. There are potential work arounds that could be considered like freezing the chrono hand at 3 so you could avoid the modifier plate, but I'm not sure if any watchsmith would be willing to try as there are no guarantees it'll work. You should speak with a few ahead of time if this is really something you want to consider. Personally, I would buy it, and wear it as is unless there is an issue then I would just have the existing movement serviced.

I was hoping to have an accurate/non problematic way to use the Chrono hence the suggestion of swapping with the ETA 7750. Based on your response I think reaching out to some watch makers is probably best before doing anything, and going from there. I'd be good with getting it as is, using the Chrono feature until it fails and then knowing that I have a watchmaker available to do the work should it be necessary.

Any other thoughts/suggestions from others are appreciate and again thanks again for the response @Rx4Time !
