Dial swap from 18038 to 18238.
Do you know if there would be any issues swapping a dial out on a day date 18238 from an older 18038?
I'm reading that some dials might be one mm narrower. I would think I'd have no issues but can't seem to find anything definitive online or in this forum. I would take to my dealer to have the swap done. Thanks. |

The Oysterquartz dials are smaller than the dials for the day date and datejust. There shouldn't be any issues going from 18038 to 18238 or 18238 to 18038.

Day-Date 18238 and 18038 dials are interchangeable and will fit either model.
