does a 1803 and a 18038 take the same size case tubes?

and what are the respective sizes of each?

Would the matching genuine rolex crown made to screw down onto this case tube also screw properly onto some Seiko or Omega divers of the same size crown tube?

I remember from technical studies on machining that different threads made by different companies have their own matching crowns but wasn't sure if this is universal.

Has anyone ever experimented with matching crowns with different case tubes?

those 2 have the same crown but aren't interchangeable with other brands. Rikki
