128328 ceramic sleeves?

Does the current Day Date 36 have ceramic sleeves in the bracket links like the Day Date 40? Also do dials from older models fit the current DD 36?

For my own education - can you specify what the difference in dial size is between older DD 36s and the modern? TIA!

While I have no doubt there is a dimensional difference between the two, the most pertinent difference is how the dials fasten to the movement.

The 3155 dial has feet, and the 3255 dial has a circumferential lip to secure to the movement.

Thanks for confirming. I also wondered if the new DD36 had ceramic sleeves.
