Anyone can help me? Looking for a replacement crown for the Rolex Daydate 18238

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know the part replacement number for the daydate 18238?

I’ve seen a couple of 6mm crown replacements on eBay but not sure if it’s able to fit properly.

Thanks in advance!

You have the size correct, 6mm.

Part number is 24-600, the next number denotes the color yellow (8) and white (9)

Hi thank you! Should it be 24-603-8 or 24-600-8?

I believe the correct one for 18238 is 24-603-8.

(I just bought the 24-600-8 for my 18038, which has the older = 3055 movement).

There is a very good explanation on the 6mm crown size on the site below:

While both crowns would work, depends on the size of the crown tube. One crown will flush, the other will not..

Sorry this is not an easy answer.
