1803 vs 11038 Case Size

Hello Vintage part of the forum, I apologize if this has been discussed. I tried using a search with no luck.

I'm a vintage guitar guy but did not venture far into vintage watches. For now haha.

I was looking at DD36mm, and newer ones look a bit different, I guess it's the bezel that makes it so different.

Then I started comparing my 18238 (this could also be called vintage, right?) with 18038 and 1803.

Do they have same case? Is that bezel the same in those references? Am I right when I figured out that each of those brought functionality upgrades into same case?


EDIT: Mod please edit headline, I was being reckless

18038 is about .3 mm thicker case than the 1803 and 18238

18038 and 18238 have same bezel. Not sure about the 1803
