I think that'd make a mess of the りゅうず entry. I'll just add another sense there as suggested,

  Comments:
The refs only have the literal "dragon's head" meaning for りゅうず and/or りょうとう/りゅうとう.
According to the kokugos, this 竜の頭の形をした物 sense also applies to りゅうず so there might be a case for merging (with restrictions). Or we could keep them separate and just add this sense to the りゅうず entry.

GG5 and other JEs - only have 竜頭/りゅうず in line with current entry 1553030. Kokugos also only have 竜頭 for りゅうず'.
There is also 竜頭/龍頭/たつがしら (as in Nicolas' reference). It's in several kokugos in the 竜頭 form with the dragon head meaning.
WWW pages and images tend to have 竜頭 (りゅうず) aligned with the watch stem/crown meaning and 龍頭 (たつがしら) with the dragon head shape.
  Comments:
We already have an entry for 竜頭/りゅうず, and with 龍 and 竜 usually being interchangeable we need to sort it out. I propose we leave 1553030 as-is and switch this one to たつがしら.
