Rolex 1803 vs 18038

Guys, is there much of a difference in price between a 1803 vs 18038, obviously one being quick set etc.. but is there about $1-2,000 difference?
Are 1803's less popular?

Thanks!!

My guess is that the plexi and pie pan dial of the 1803 is not enough to overcome the non quick set movement, hence the price premium for the 18038. Not sure that it's as much as 2k though, condition being equal.

The price is always dependent on the quality of the bracelet.. Both are 30 or 40 years old so shop the band as much as the watch itself, Imho
